Is it Goodbye to our Public Loos? FOR MANY months Cranbrook has been without its public lavatories, thanks to the efforts of a handful of vandals who have forced the closure of a vital amenity. The ladies and gents, tucked along Crane Lane off the High Street, were a constant target resulting in the owners, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, closing them. Despite appeals from townspeople and Cranbrook and Sissinghurst Parish Council, instead of repairs being made the building was boarded up, the borough saying repairs would cost up to £7,000. I now know that people in Cranbrook feel strongly about the conveniences. Vandalism is such a waste of effort and money. We must find other activities for the youth of this parish. As well as the lavatories, the once-beautiful mosaic seat covered in scenes of Cranbrook, just feet from the loos, has also been attacked. Large chunks have been prised out, leaving it a shadow of its former self. It was designed by renowned mosaicist Nigel Budd and made with the help of students from the former Angley School, now High Weald Academy. Speaking at July’s parish council meeting, borough councillor Tom Dawlings said: “The money previously spent on the loos in Cranbrook last year was more than that spent on all the other toilets put together.” He said there were suggestions that responsibility for public lavatories in the borough should be handed over to parish councils, which has already happened in Benenden. Cllr. Dawlings suggested that councillors visit the ABOVE: Cranbrook public toilets what do you think? conveniences in Paddock Wood which were part steel to deter vandalism. If the Cranbrook lavatories are not reopened it is hoped that commercial outlets in the town, such as cafes, might offer to allow the public to use their facilities. They would receive payment from out chairman’s & about view the borough council to cover costs. I am exploring suggestions for other sites for new conveniences, perhaps closer to the coach park in the Regal Car Park. Cllr. Bridget Veitch Chairman, Cranbrook and Sissinghurst Parish Council Should Cranbrook have public conveniences or should retail outlets provide the service?
