Closing of Marple's Public Toilets

[Miss Marple]

Yes just downloaded mine ! Let's hope we can save them from closing 

[admin]

We had our Friends of Marple Memorial Park AGM last night and I obtained the following update ready for that from Cllr. Martin Candler on 7 April:

The toilets in the Memorial Park will not be closing in the near future.
The Council is still working on finding replacements as I described to
you earlier. 

If anything becomes clear on the matter I will let you know

Whilst we believe Cllr. Candler is doing everything he can to keep the toilets open we felt that it could only help this cause if the FOMMP wrote to the council expressing our view that the toilets in the park cannot be practically replaced by a Community Toilet Scheme and should be kept open indefinitely for public use.

We have also agreed to urge other local groups to write to the council in support and to start a petition.

With regard to the petition, I'd like to engage the help of as many people as possible to collect signatures - perhaps we can show that the forum is not just a talking shop!

If you can help please download a copy of the petition form, print some off and collect as many signatures as you can. You can send them by post or, if you have the technology, scan them and send them to me by email. Details are on the bottom of the form.

Hi Admin I know I  keep asking but is there any news on the closing of the toilets in the Memorial Park 

[Miss Marple]

Any news on the loo's     My god I'm a poet and I didn't know it

[Miss Marple]

could you tell us where you got your info from Miss Marple?

From the person who cleans and closes the toilets each evening

Well ! From a friend of friend who has spoken to the person who cleans and opens/closes toilets in Memorial Park !  But it could just be a rumour, hopefully !

At the beginning of March I was told by Cllr. Candler that he and his colleagues were doing their best to ensure that the park toilets remain open. I have been promised an update when they know more / reach a conclusion. There is more background info in the FOMMP minutes. That's all I know atm.

[Miss Marple]

I don't think so !  But someone on the forum may have more information?  Do you know of any more developments Admin ?

I thought they were staying open.  At least, according to this link which Mark posted earlier in this thread: http://www.stockport.gov.uk/services/environment/rubbishwasterecycling/environmentalcleanliness/communitytoiletscheme

[Miss Marple]

When is the date set for the Shutting  of the toilets in the Memorial Park and is anything being done to try and stop this happening ?

not open sundays .for the bowling club .

Sadly, the Hackney Carriage Laws that permitted men to urinate in public, as long as it occurred against the rear wheel of his vehicle and he had his right hand on the vehicle, were repealed in 1976

Good point badger - I've been caught (short) there more than once

On the plus side if toilets are found in local pubs etc: at least they won't be closed at 4-4.30pm like the ones on Derbyway Car Park are.
