Toilet campaign goes online

Special campaign blog launched to keep people
in touch with the campaign to save Sheringham's toilets.  Trevor Ivory has launched a new weblog or "blog" to make sure that people can keep up with all the latest news on the campaign to save Sheringham's toilets.  "The response to the survey that I launched last week has already been overwhelming, with hundreds of responses received after just the first few days.  Whilst my own website - trevorivory.com - already has all the latest news about the campaign as well as a link to the survey, I wanted to make sure that local people had a special site dedicated to the campaign."

"The blog has all the latest news and information about the campaign. It is also interactive so people can leave comments and share their views with each other as well as me."  You can visit the blog at www.savesheringhamtoilets.wordpress.com.

Save Sheringham's Toilets

Trevor Ivory joins forces with local campaigners in Sheringham to halt the District Council's public toilet closure programme in the town.  Trevor Ivory has this weekend launched a new campaign to save Sheringham's vital public toilets.  "The toilets on the East Promenade were closed sometime ago and the temporary replacements are simply disgraceful." Mr Ivory told local people who joined him to launch the campaign.   "But the problem does not end there," he continued, "The latest news is that the District Council is considering also closing the other toilets on the beach and the ones on the High Street, leaving just those by the railway station open. In a town where so many people visit the High Street and the beach, it simply unbelievable the District Council is even considering such a move."

Mr Ivory was approached by the Sheringham Enhancement Group, which campaigns for improvements in Sheringham, after the Group failed to get the answers that they wanted from the District Council.  "We are not asking for new top of the range toilets. We just want local people and visitors to have access to decent toilets and showers as befits a beautiful seaside town like Sheringham. A temporary toilet block might be acceptable at a pop concert, but Sheringham deserves better than this," said one member of the Group.  Mr Ivory told campaigners that he was this week launching a survey that will be delivered to every house in the town asking for local people's views as well as a petition against the closures, which people will be able to sign in local shops and elsewhere.  "I urge everyone to complete the survey or sign the petition because it will help me to show the District Council how important this issue is to local people," Mr Ivory added.
