Letter To The Editor: We’re Crossing Our Legs In Ventnor

We’re always happy to share ‘letters to the editor’ with our readers. Evelyn Knowles has just discovered that winter closures are in place in one of the few toilets we have left in town. If you have something you’d like to say, get in touch. Ed

Crossed legsFooled again!

Ventnor had decided to make the unacceptable acceptable and make do with the few toilets we have left, only to discover that winter closures are still being applied.

The toilets in Ventnor Park have now been closed for the winter leaving only the Marlborough Road loos open above sea-level.

Switch it off!
On top of this the four lights have been left extravagantly burning for five weeks since the closure.

The complete lack of consideration for any visitors, walkers and all Council Tax payers is once again demonstrated.

Evelyn Knowles, Ventnor

(This is a great example of something to add to FixMyStreet. Ed)

Update: We got in touch with the council to find out why the lights are still on – update provided here
