A bum deal on public toilets?
Getting to the bottom of Bedford’s public toilet problems will be the aim of a meeting at Borough Hall on Thursday (February 28).
Members of the public, who are concerned about changes to council-run facilities in the town centre can attend the meeting, which starts at 6.30pm.
Interested parties can speak to the council’s environment and sustainable communities overview and scrutiny committee about their concerns, and help to shape a final template for how public toilets are managed in the borough.
Maureen Cerri, who runs The Arts Centre in Howard Street will attend the meeting.
She believes that the Lurke Street public toilets should be reinstated.
She said: “The other day in full view of every we had someone go down the alley opposite us and have a wee.
“We also has a lady come in who was really in quite a state and said could she use the toilet. We had to call her a taxi in the end. You really could be in a third world country here.”
And Maureen claimed that, although she uderstands that the council has to save money, the lack of convienieces could put people off shopping in Bedford.
She said: “We are hoping that they do open them again because then people would have one less reason to go to Milton Keynes.”
She added: “The bottom of it is they are closing the toilets and if they don’t close them something else is going to go. It’s a difficult situation.”
