SANITARY CONVENIENCES
There are 69 male and 67 female public conveniences adjoining the highways and within
the curtilage of the Council's parks and open spaces.
New conveniences have been built at Victoria Park, Finchley and Brent Park, Hendon.

place annually.
The use of washing facilities are free in the Borough and only at a few is a charge made
for the toilet.
