Lack of toilet facilities

[Stebyr]

For a town the size of Campbeltown the lack of public toilet facilities is a disgrace. In the evening the public toilets are closed and if anyone is 'caught short' and has to find a secluded corner they risk a fine from the police.
I understand that the Bolgam Street ones are to be refurbished and suggest that instead of spending money on this the council invests in a few of the free standing self cleaning style. One by the County Garage, one by the bus terminal and one by Quarry Green. These would be available 24 hours a day

Anyone kno why the council sold the public toilets opposite the county garage ?

[bill]

The public toilets at Millknowe (opposite the County Garage) will close after the area committee voted three to five to shut them. This despite the fact that two local councillors (Cllrs Kelly and Colville) voted to keep the toilets in use. What are your feelings on the closure?

The report considered by members can be seen by clicking here and the following was taken from the Council Area Committee meeting on the Council's website at http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/moderngov ... 3&MId=3500

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report detailing the best value appraisal of the closure of the Millknowe public toilets.

Members discussed the issues surrounding the proposed closure and questioned the purpose of the appraisal in terms of time and money spent. Further discussion ensued over various aspects of the closure.

Motion:

The recommendation that Members confirm closure of the Millknowe public toilet.

Moved by Councillor MacMillan, seconded by Councillor Semple.

Amendment:

To continue discussions with the adjoining agricultural business. If these talks fail, then to continue with the closure.

Moved by Councillor Colville, seconded by Councillor Kelly.

Decision

The Motion was carried by 5 votes to 3 and the Committee resolved accordingly.
