SANITARY CONVENIENCES AT RAILWAY AND UNDERGROUND STATIONS
In view of complaints made to the Department, a
survey was made of all the conveniences at the stations listed
below.
Improvements were effected as the result of our
representations to the Railway authorities, but it was not
possible for either the British Railways or the London Transport
Executive to instal washing facilities at the less important
stations owing to the cost and difficulties of supervision and
maintenance.
It will, of course, be appreciated that the Council
has no specific jurisdiction over the British Transport Commission
in respect of the provision of sanitary accomnodation.

Conveniences are provided in all these stations.
Washing facilities are provided for ladies only at Swiss Cottage
and Chalk Farm Stations and for men and women at the Finchley Road
(London Transport Executive) Station. No washing facilities are
provided for passengers at the other stations.
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.
