SIR, I have read your newspaper correspondence on the issue of closing public toilets with dismay and disbelief for months now. It cannot be happening.
How dare South Lakeland District Council put locals, travellers and visitors in the embarrassing position of having to squat on roadsides and riversides in an attempt to relieve themselves? A perfectly natural function, not catered for. Why are we going backwards in every field in this country? I thought we were a civilised society.
I very much object to paying an extra 12 per cent council tax when SLDC is closing the most basic human need - the humble public loo.
