No awards for shut down loos
I was pleased to see that Chipping toilets had received “Best in Lancashire” award.
I use these toilets regularly on my cycling travels around the county and always feel that they are well looked after, always clean and in such a pleasant setting.
It is just a pity Ribble Valley Borough Council chose to deny us the chance to use the toilets in Gisburn and Waddington, villages every bit as big as Chipping and just as much in demand. Do people not need to use the toilet any more? Are our bodies changing how they work? I would have thought that the local council was charged with using our funds to enable our basic needs to be satisfied in a dignified manner.
We should not have to put upon local businesses for this and for many people, to ask is embarrassing; that is if they are even open when the need arises, which in many older folk is often. Something is wrong somewhere.
