Stockwell toilets

Ian Cameron, the long-time Stockwell campaigner for toilet provision, has commented on Lambeth's plans to increase the number of "public" toilets available - that is the Community Toilet Scheme (CTS).
If you pop into Stockwell Tube Station the ticket barrier duty person will give you a free booklet entitled Welcome to London and on page 17 is a short specific para on LONDON toilet provision.  It states that superloos are available across London. It is worth seeing. Since the failure of Stockwell Labour Party to get any CENTRAL STOCKWELL takers for the Council Community Toilet Scheme in January/February (2009). I made repeated requests in writing to local councillors to provide at least an automated loo on Stockwell Green none of them have ever on any occasion even acknowledged or replied....
The community toilet scheme premises referred to by Alex Bigham in his blog post are NOT CENTRAL STOCKWELL - the major problem is central stockwell - there is NO provision in central stockwell as he very well knows. And where there are CTS premises I have raised that the signage is not sufficient or not adequately displayed - again my communications have been absolutely ignored on this topic.

  1. I take offense at the suggestion that I have ignored Ian Cameron's communications - that is simply untrue. I have replied to his many messages (which are often personal and offensive) and indeed sent him a letter from the 'Better' bookmakers on Clapham Road, which offered to provide access to their toilet facilities which are in central Stockwell. The point of the press release from Lambeth was to encourage more businesses in the area to take part in the Community Toilet Scheme, something I wrote to many local businesses about. While more could be done to improve toilet access near to the tube, I don't think installing a new public toilet by the war memorial is the answer.

  2. Councillor Bigham pull your finger out and start earning those generous expenses you get.

    How about putting some proper public toilets next to the Underground outside Jacks, teh pavement is big enough they could even be cost free if you make a small charge for using them. It's not hard it just need you to do some work
