Dear Jan,

I have just read your leader about the importance of good toilet facilities in city centres and asking why some councils are quick to shut some of theirs. I heartily agree that the lack of toilet facilities will impact on footfall and they seem to be closing some of their facilities very quickly.

As a cleaning manager working near a seaside town I have seen the rapid loss of toilets on the sea front and it has impacted on businesses and shore-front shops. Half of the shore-front shops are boarded up and have been closed for some time, so the expression of 'the humble loo' seems inappropriate now.

Kind regards,

Stephen Carter
