FURTHER to your feature ‘Lack of loos’ (Cabbages & Kings, January 22), the decline in these facilities has obviously taken place in recent years.
A plan of the city, still circulating, shows public toilets, now closed, on Castle Street in St Giles (handy for the fair), Blue Boar Street and seasonal on Abingdon Road (Hinksey Park).
The castle site (popular with schools as well as tourists) has no public toilets, apart from one unisex cubicle in the adjoining cafe.
Today's Letters
The so-called ‘communal loos’ agreed in some shops are inadequate replacements and difficult to find or even be aware of.
This is a serious defect in any town, especially one with so many tourists and rough sleepers.
