Westport Loo

Not sure if this has been posted. There is a temporary loo at Westport for six weeks. This is an experiment and use will be monitored by the council.

PS Not a flushing loo.

Ah thought that the idea was to attract people to the beach, the only person I can think of that would be at home in a portaloo would be yon Bochan Mor.

But wait, perhaps its no a portaloo but a tardis, or a one o yon beam me up Scotty devices. (RIP Pat)

Sorry, Nancy- I know this is serious. I would like to know how one monitors a port-a-potty, though. :D

That's easy. When the sh.. covers the chips and the car park is blocked. The cooncil will know it's a succcess.

This could be the answer to Campbeltown's problems.

If we all installed one of these there would be no sewage to pollute the streets, the loch or the shops etc.

Serious questions should go to Councillor Colville. It is a good point though. I'll ask him and let you know.

:lol: Probably not as much as I should!! I didn't know the purpose of wanting a port-a-potty in that location. Maybe monitoring might have been necessary to account for frequency of use to see if a permanent facility was necessary there- or, maybe to report vandalism.

I see my question sounded silly now :lol: as all you were talking about was maintaining the thing!

no need to get councilors involved!

Postby dgraves » Thu Jul 21, 2005 3:29 pm

Thanks Nancy, now that I have provided enough giggles for the day!! I thought you meant taking account of something to do with the port-a-potty. I'm not really into knowing about its maintenance :lol: :lol:

Any truth in the rumour about a new cafe and toilets to start work at Westport in August?

A portaloo at Westport? Please, this just smacks of nonsense.

Why don't the Council just build a small toilet out at Westport, 1 male W.C and 1 female W.C with baby changing facilities and the like. Could be manned over the summer to ensure no vandalism takes place and possibly the steward could have a small side shop providing visitors with juice, crisps, sun tan lotion and possibly tourist information?

For all it would cost, possibly the same could be done at the Machrihanish end?

Seasonal ofcourse but then at least we would be catering for the public/tourists in some fashion!! :wink: :wink:

Would be great to see some kind of facilities at Machrihanish again, there is a toilet but no shop, cafe or anything like that. Pretty soon the Beachcomber will be gone too !
