FREE WASHING FACILITIES - PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
In connection with the clean food drive, the
Council has provided free washing facilities at its four
public conveniences. Liquid soap and paper hand towels
are available. The public and the street traders would
appear to appreciate this facility judging by the number
of towels which have been issued.
