This is a reader's letter published in the Oxford Mail this week. The location of the writer is not included.

For the first time in a long while, I made a visit into Oxford and in the course of which I visited Market Street toilets.

Well, what a disgrace!

Goodness knows what visitors to our dreaming spires must think.

They are the most central to the city and in the past I have seen many tours stopping off there.

They were absolutely disgusting.

Oxford Mail:

Of the five or six cubicles, three were blocked and another didn’t flush.

If the council cannot keep them clean then it would be better to close them.

Surely a city like Oxford can do better than that!

There doesn’t seem to be any pride in the city these days.
