OXFORD: City council leaders could be forced to reconsider their decision to close seven public toilets across the city to save £50,000 a year.

On Monday, at the city council meeting, Liberal Democrat city councillor Jean Fooks is putting forward a proposal she hopes will lead to the closure programme being halted.

It says: “Council believes that this decision is plain wrong, and particularly disadvantages the elderly, disabled and people with children.”

If enough councillors back the call, the executive board will be asked to reconsider the decision, which was taken earlier this month.
