Closure Of Public Toilets

On Saturday 9th November local people gathered in Perranuthnoe car park to show Cornwall Council how strongly they feel about the closure of the public toilets during weekdays for the winter months. The Perranuthnoe Peeathon event was created on Facebook with around 70 people, several dogs and a horse turning up.

 

 

Local people and businesses are feeling let down by Cornwall Council. Comments such as 'we are the ones paying the most council tax yet we are not allowed use of the toilets in winter!' and 'they (Cornwall council) are urging small businesses to stay open all year round yet they themselves are closing the amenities, what sort of message are they trying to send out?'
What's the Cornish motto, ah yes Onan hag Oll - One and all. Cornwall Council showing true Cornish spirit (not).

There is also a petition which already has almost 1000 signatures.
If you would like to see our toilets remain open please sign the petition which can be found in;
The Cabin, Village Crafts, The Peppercorn, The Victoria Inn, The Cowhouse Gallery and 'Kernewek KY Professional Dog Grooming' located in Lynfield Craft Centre.

If you would like copies of the petition to gather your own signatures and help the cause please click here.

You have until Sunday 17th November to sign the petition.

You can also complain yourself via email envmanagement@cornwall.gov.uk

Your comments are more than welcome.

Closure Of Public Toilets and The Peeathon Update

Bryan Griffin has been awarded a new lease for the car park starting from April 2014 at which point he will have total responsibility for the public toilets. It is his intention to keep them open throughout the year with help promised by village businesses to keep them clean.

Unfortunately he has no control over them this winter so The Great Perranuthnoe Peeathon will be going ahead.

The intention of the Peeathon is to gain some sort of control over the toilets for this winter so that they may be kept open for everybody's convenience.

The hope is for as many people as possible to assemble in the car park tomorrow morning at 11am to show the Council there is support for keeping them open. The Cornishman will be invited. A full bladder is NOT required :-)
