Thanks for clean public toilets

As a frequent visitor to Reepham, I must congratulate the town on the state of cleanliness of the public toilets in Pudding Pie Alley.

Thanks in particular to the person who cleans these toilets, who I see has been doing this for 25 years (George celebrates 25 years of bog cleaning).

In fact, free public conveniences are a rarity these days. Frequently they are locked or dirty – if they exist at all – and many of us, both young and old, are forced to sneak into cafés, shops or pubs, trying to spend a penny without spending a pound.

In the 21st century the lack of clean and accessible public toilets in many towns and cities across the UK is a disgrace. Are we becoming a third world country?

The need for a toilet is a basic human need.
