Town Councillor Dennis Axford has a very informative blogsite, and his latest post is about the extensive cuts that are planned for Cornwall Council funding for the public loos in Pz
"In Penzance the plan is to close EIGHT (8), yes you read that correctly, they plan to close 8 public toilets, this number is only matched by St Ives with 7, it makes you wonder what we have done to upset them.
As a comparison our capital Truro 4, the largest town in Cornwall St Austell 1, Camborne, Redruth And Pool 3 between them, Falmouth 1."
