The Abingdon Herald reported about Public Toilets in Abingdon under the headline Public toilets in Abingdon close after vandalism<\/a>. Cllr Charlie Birks raised the topic of public toilets at the Town Council meeting on 30th March and tried to put pressure on the Vale of White District Council to get them all operational. I also got an email from J who was concerned that the lack of public toilets was making it more difficult for some vulnerable people to visit Abingdon Town Centre. As a result, I went to explore.

\nThe toilets in the Abbey Meadow were working and were being well used. I had to wait a couple of minutes until I could get a picture without people going in, coming out, or loitering outside. The circular glass windows have been replaced with wood and are now more vandal proof. The vandalised radar key has been fixed.
\n
\nAt the Charter, the drains from the men’s toilets keep getting blocked because of subsidence and need digging out and replacing. A notice has been put for men to use the disabled toilet instead (radar key access has been removed). This will be a big job (apology for the pun).
\n
\nThe Hales Meadow toilet is usually only accessible with coins, and at present, the coin slot is taped over. There are lots of notices but none of them has information about the closure. The Herald reports that the door was vandalised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
