Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
Just had notification through that the Cabinet have made the decision to shut the toilets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays, with signposting towards the Market Hall toilets instead. Apparently this will save the council £10k per year.
I'm meeting with the new Town Centre manager next week to find out why the decision was made and hopefully finding some figures to support this. |

There's an article in the Observer which makes interesting reading ;)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
I don't believe for one minute the figurses being bandied about here, a saving of £10k per year? That figure must be a joke surely? Why not just close the toilets in the market hall? They aren't suitable to cope with a large number of people:confused: And they are hardly ideally situated are they?:mad:

Ten grand? My, that's a nice round figure. Don't give up. I'm sure we'd all love to know the breakdown, and exactly how that ten thousand pounds is arrived at. Since Lancsdave, and other business, rent their properties off H.B.C., and don't have their own toilet facilities, I wonder if the powers that be worked how much a saving there'd be if the toilets in the Market Hall were closed? Surely in the interest of saving tax payers' money, a fair comparisson would be made, before arriving at any decision? That's if the decision was made with saving money in mind, and not about getting people to go upstairs in the Market Hall, traipsing through a particular cafe. Which I believe is owned by someone whose name is Britcliffe. :rolleyes: |

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
The controlling group have taken leave of their senses.
Of all the 15million+ that the Council spends each year, its hard to think of a more provocative gesture than saving 10k on cleaning toilets three days a week. Presumably that can only be saved by sacking the cleaner and reducing the order for Ajax and Cillit Bang. It's the budget equivalent of a scatter bomb, designed to impact on as many people as possible. It's all about cynical politics and nothing to do with responsible management. |
Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
have just read the accy observer .. cant believe what theyve said ... councillor marlene haworth saying that we are all businessmen and that it will increase the footfall into the market hall .. and councillor britcliffe saying i dont know why it hasnt gone down very well because the toilets that can be used are just 100 yards away i dont see what the problem is it will still be convenient to spend a penny in hyndburn ....
