Linda and I asked our constituents in a recent newsletter about their views on the town centre. 100% of the respondents said that there were not enough toilets in the town centre. Some respondents said:
"I am disabled and diabetic when you need a toilet and you're diabetic there can be no waiting time. It's not possible for me to get to the shops on Market Place"
"Everyone wants toilets even when you shut them"This issue is going to be discussed at the Council's meeting of the Town Forum on 6th February. The five toilets in the town centre: Dalkeith Place, London Road, Wadcroft, Ebenezer Place and Rockingham Road will be closed between April and May 2012.
So, the question are there enough toilets in the Town centre is answered yes now, but what will happen when the five close? There will be a community toilet scheme (CTS), with windows of businesses taking part stickered. These will include the library and the council offices.
What hasn't been said is the cost of paying businesses to be part of the scheme and the fact that the council offices are closed from 1pm on the busiest shopping day of the week- Saturday!
There will be some questions for the Council to answer at Town Forum next week.
