Ladies Toilet Closure
More lib-dem ? measures to get more money out of locals and discourage day trippers. Higher rates and less services under this mob.
Lots of councils across the country are short of money - Conservative controlled Devon County Council being one of them.
The councils are short of money for a variety of reasons - a huge drop in funding from central government since 2010, an increase in demand for the services that local government addresses (eg social services, special needs education, homelessness) and inflation.
So I've now had some time to find out more about this changing places facility. Seems it is a toilet facility specifically aimed at those who are dependent on others for help with their toiletting
Also,as I write this, I do not know how TDC is financing this installation but from research it seems that central government has a pot of money that it is asking councils to bid for specifically in order to provide a changing places facility.
Perhaps that is why and how TDC is funding the work?
