[astralavi]

Plans for more public toilets to be closed permanently, for example Preston Park, there are many others in important parts of the city that will be closed and will be very few left. The Argus lists them here

These are the public toilets that could be closed under council plans to cut costs

More than a dozen public toilets could be closed under controversial plans outlined by the council.

I often wonder where the public lavs are in Brighton. On route to the Amex l need a brief toilet stop these days, (it's my age you know), & l am getting a reputation in the HobGoblin, not for drinking their beer, but for popping in to use their conveniences. I'm sure they will ban me soon.

I had to piss in a bush on New Year’s Eve due to the lack of Public Toilets, a real shame.

Expect to see a lot more of this, particularly from the high amount of wasters around Pavilion Gardens for example.

I dunno, one thing I expect from any Government/Council is to provide enough public bogs for it's public.

Surely not having people pissing in the street should be a priority for a local council? Although Western Road is a dump and needs tarting-up wouldn't that money be better spent on toilets, street cleaning and grafitti busting?

I want a fact check on whether he got the Euro Tunnel, as personally I’d find a transmanche fry up on the Newhaven to Dieppe too hard to resist.

Had a horrible moment when I almost shit myself in Hove and had to run home, a truly frightening experience.

As long as they are somewhere to do your business, you don't have to rate them!

How do you get a hyperlink to have that heading and picture and blue box? When I've inserted a hyperlink, it just looks like this https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23244027.full-list-public-toilets-brighton-close-due-cuts/

Sounds like you're taking the piss.

I like the Amsterdam approach on this. Urinals that pop up out of the ground in the evening. No excuse for peeing anywhere else, so they don't tolerate it. Get caught having a slash anywhere else and you're off to the nick for a few hours, sorting out the hefty fine. We could do with that approach a bit more on a lot of things, I think. Provide proper options (we don't usually bother), but then have zero tolerance for those that don't use them.

Anyway, I'll definitely be signing that petition. Public toilets are exactly the sort of stuff public services need to be doing. As usual, can't rely on the private sector for the grimmer jobs. There's no money in people spending a penny.
