UNFORTUNATELY, I needed to use the public toilet in Abbey Gardens.

I went into the ladies, entered the last cubicle and thought it needed flushing! Well, it didn't as after I had flushed the toilet it was still dirty and brown

I looked in another cubicle before leaving and it was the same disgusting! This was not just one day’s use, it was dreadful.

What must visitors think? I am sure many who get off the coaches opposite Abbey Gardens and go to use the loo wish they had never arrived if this is what Winchester has to offer.

The toilets near where Debenhams used to be are never in a good state either.

When and who is supposed to be cleaning them?

I have lived in a third-world country and have used pit latrines which have been a darn site cleaner than these.

Our local toilets must be a health hazard and surely something should be done.

Kind regards,
