I really can't see it saving that much money to be honest unless you lay someone off or reduce their hours but they're going to need someone to tend to the Market Hall toilets more often (and presumably mend the seats) so the cost will have to be offset somewhere.
Preston Town Centre has public toilets all over the place rippling out well into the suburbs. Even Lostock Hall has public facilities and it's easily quarter the size of Accrington Town Centre. As Gynn called it earlier in the thread, it's scatter bomb politics as part of a face-saving exercise to prove that the Market Hall is popular.
We're entering the endgame in an increasingly desperate electioneering campaign so expect to see some fairly wild claims of how well they're doing and generous cheques being handed out in the papers over the next two months.
Kath Pratt and Paul Barton have been getting some fairly heavy mileage out of The Regency shutters this week and Stan Horne has been knocking down a row of houses which doesn't even belong to the council.
Desperation, to be blunt.
