A staff of three whole-time and one part-time cleaners is
employed for this work.
Plans have been approved for the construction of new conveniences
on the L.C.C. Estate at St. Paul's Cray, and in the village
of Mottingham. Particular attention has been paid to the use of
sturdy fitments in order to reduce to a minimum malicious damage
which is caused to these buildings and fixtures.
This damage has reached serious proportions during the year
and in one case it became necessary to close a convenience pending
the erection of fencing and the reinstatement of the building.
