However, there is one absolute eyesore which is the most awful let-down. Who on earth designed the public toilets facing the main road right beside the Clock Tower? It embarrasses me just to have to walk past them let alone use them.

On busy days there are men and women, each trying to avoid the glances of the other, hanging about outside, some with legs crossed, anxiously waiting to relieve themselves.

Personally I would prefer to go behind a hedge than endure the indignity of waiting there under the gaze of the world and his wife. People have to open wide the door to enter or leave, letting the whole world see the interior of these very public lavatories. Not a pretty sight!

Added to all this one actually has to pay for the privilege of spending a penny.

Can't we at least have a hedge screening this monstrosity? The planning committee deserve sacking for giving the go-ahead for this set of plans.
Please do not respond that it has to be like this because of vandals, yobbos, druggies, drunks, etc.

Just get them all locked up and perhaps we could return to a world where some dignity is retained.
