MY family recently spent the day at Bournemouth beach.

We love the town and it has everything we need. The only downside was the state of the public toilets by the pier. What a let down for the town. Please town councillors take a trip and have a look, you will be as disgusted as we were. This is not due to the people using them, but the state of the decor is truly shameful. Tiling broken, grouting falling out, filthy general condition, they have obviously not been upgraded for many years. I would hesitate to use them even in dire need.

I am ashamed for visitors to this country to see these awful facilities. I would ask that visitors who have had the misfortune to experience these toilets make a noise about it and get them upgraded pretty damn quick.
