It wasn't long ago that the enlightened people writing news stories were informing us that public toilets encouraged homelessness and crime. Business that allowed the public to use their toilets were "gently encouraged" not to do so anymore.
Perhaps we could go back and see who wanted to make public toilets unavailable, and make sure they're not still influencing public policy?

- switch007 3y agoIn the UK we mostly get that excuse from the councils/government because they want to cut costs, and I think people just parrot that excuse. Nobody seems to take 2 seconds to even ask how much vandalism existed only because there were no attendants (because they were fired) and therefore there was no surveillance. All the good public toilets I’ve seen have constant cleaning during the day with a strong staff presence. Funny that!
