I WONDER if any of your readers can tell me how long it has been since the Arndale Centre in Morecambe had toilet facilities.

It must be over 15 years when they put a notice up saying "Toilets Closed Due to Vandalism." Since then we have had to endure "temporary" cabin-type toilets - presumably at the expense of the ratepayer.

How much longer are these small, inconvenient loos going to be there? Surely the Arndale Centre security can cope with looking after its own toilets. Do the shoppers have to wait until it dawns on the council that the rent they are getting from the Arndale is going to pay for the unhygienic toilet facilities.

It is a nightmare for a mother with small children to use as there isn't enough room even to get round the doors with a small child in tow.

I could write to the council about this but I have found them so unhelpful in the past regarding litter bins and dogbins that it seems a waste of time to contact them. Perhaps if you print my letter someone will respond.
