On the subject of new public toilets, those in the shopping centre that was opened in Bury St Edmunds today hardly match up to those in Tavistock. For what is expected to be a busy area they seem quite in adequate - only five urinals, close together with no dividers, and two cubicles. This is about half the capacity of the old ones which were demolished in the process of "development". It looks as if the developers, knowing that the provision of new toilets was mandatory, have got away with as little as possible. Obviously nobody with paruresis had a hand in this!
