PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
Proposed New Sites:
Negotiations for the purchase of a site to build a Public
Convenience in the West Kensington area are proceeding. This modern
Convenience will replace the underground Convenience at Gibbs Green
which is small, cramped, old and very expensive to maintain.
A Convenience is also required in the Wandsworth Bridge area, but
to date negotiations for several suitable sites have been unsuccessful.
Washing Facilities:
The Free Wash facilities provided by the Council to encourage
personal hygiene, continue to be used and appreciated by members of the
public.
There is also a steady demand for the '3d. Wash and Brush Up1
despite the increased use of the. Free Wash facilities.
Theft of Lead;
At the beginning of the year two of the Public Conveniences were
visited by thieves who removed lead fittings from two W.C. compartments.
The thefts were reported to the police but so fair as is known, no one
was apprehended.
