POOLE council have at last given residents and visitors a bit of good news regarding the public toilet closure programme.

The Haven public toilet is to re-open over the summer months, we are all relieved!

However, the rest of us must carry on with little or no hope of seeing our local public toilets re-open.

The health of our citizens has to be an important priority for the council.

I just don’t understand how our councillors can treat their citizens with such contempt by continually ignoring their welfare. I would urge all Poole residents to use the council’s formal complaint procedure to register their dissatisfaction with the public toilet closure programme and the way that it has been handled.

Search for “Complaints” on the Borough of Poole’s website.
