50p charge to spend a penny?

Published: 27 January, 2012

THE chairman of a residents’ association has said he fears more people will urinate in public after the council said users of some of its loos could have to pay up to 50p to spend a penny.

John Zamit, who heads the South East Bayswater Residents’ Association, said he was pleased that at least half of the ­borough’s public toilets would remain free to use, but said concerns remain about others.

City Hall is in the process of finalising a plan which would involve leasing out 20 of its public conveniences to a private provider.

A City Hall spokesman said the scheme would mean public loos across the centre of London would remain open for at least the next 10 years.
