How about pop-up loos and encouraging entrepreneurs?

Thursday, 21st April 2022

• I HAD been discussing the public loo issue with my friend the other day when we visited Kew Gardens.

First its great that there is a loo at all. OK.

Camden’s is one of so many public loos with issues and it’s by no means the worst.

With so many long-term empty businesses boarded up in Camden, and summer on its way, if anyone was keen on a new pop-up I think various clean toilets with at least one attendant would go down a treat.

Especially so with space for wheelchairs, buggies, and comfy chairs for those waiting or care assistants, plus soaps, and hand creams and sanitisers.

I have been lucky enough to travel and have been pleasantly surprised; the better the city the better the toilets.

I walk a lot and often tourists have no idea where loos are, so I do not think there are enough.

Please, Camden, give people loos, for all the genders. And also open it up for a flood of new pop-up entrepreneurs. That’s how modern loos started.

Money was has been made from selling or reusing and recycling. On farm land human and animal and fish sewage still helps grow vegetables and vegan crops.

It’s a changed world but some of it was clearly better organised way back when!

If those basic things could have stayed the same it would have been a more equal society in the end Change is not always good.

Many Londoners would have wanted and still want gardens and allotments to manage and, instead, we have a lifetime of HS2 industrial wasteland.

So, please, amid problems of Covid, Brexit and war, for now at least, sort out the toilets. Make them free, make them safe and make them clean.

They need to be working, open, serviced and policed. Camden Council, you need to reassess your priorities.
