Trevor Ivory has this weekend launched a new campaign to save Sheringham’s vital public toilets.

“The toilets on the East Promenade were closed sometime ago and the temporary replacements are simply disgraceful.” Mr Ivory told local people who joined him to launch the campaign.

“But the problem does not end there,” he continued, “The latest news is that the District Council is considering also closing the other toilets on the beach and the ones on the High Street, leaving just those by the railway station open. In a town where so many people visit the High Street and the beach, it simply unbelievable the District Council is even considering such a move.”

Mr Ivory was approached by the Sheringham Enhancement Group, which campaigns for improvements in Sheringham, after the Group failed to get the answers that they wanted from the District Council.

“We are not asking for new top of the range toilets. We just want local people and visitors to have access to decent toilets and showers as befits a beautiful seaside town like Sheringham. A temporary toilet block might be acceptable at a pop concert, but Sheringham deserves better than this,” said one member of the Group.

Mr Ivory told campaigners that he was this week launching a survey that will be delivered to every house in the town asking for local people’s views as well as a petition against the closures, which people will be able to sign in local shops and elsewhere.

“I urge everyone to complete the survey or sign the petition because it will help me to show the District Council how important this issue is to local people,” Mr Ivory added.

Complete the survey now.
