Not long ago I cut through one of the passageways from Armentieres Square through to Corporation Street. The look of shame and embarrassment on the face of the face of the 80 something year old man that had clearly been caught short was one that I will remember for a long time.
This is the very statement that made me start questioning decisions that affect us. It is the conclusion of a poorly publicised consultation regarding the closure of the public toilets in Stalybridge.
"76.7% (82 people) considered that the Council should not close any public conveniences. Although a clear majority, this figure is not surprising given that in principle those who object to certain proposals are most likely to spend time responding to consultation.
However, despite this 20.5% (22 people) agreed with proposals to close the toilets (2.8% neither agreed nor disagreed or skipped the question) as a savings measure."
