Stockwell Toilet Watch

KILROY'S "HYDE & SEEK" KITE - PART 2

KILROY's "HYDE & SEEK KITE" - PART 2. Earlier initiative (see earlier kite posting) so far ignored. Self explanatory, so herewith a follow up letter of "enquiry plus" to the MANAGING DIRECTOR, HYDE SOUTHBANK HOMES, SACHA JEVANS, in the jargon a Central Stockwell "main stakeholder". Ah the jargon don't it lift one up allellujah allellujah ...

Dear Sacha Jevans,

THE NEED FOR CENTRAL STOCKWELL PUBLIC TOILETS

about ten days ago I emailed an enquiry to you (full details copied over-leaf) that had a bearing on the above and as I haven't had a response of any kind I am now making this hard-mail enquiry.

I have lived here at Knox Court on the Studley Estate since mid 1954 when newly built it was first brought into use,

On the estate and in the central Stockwell area there have been changes for the better as well as in some respects changes that have worsened conditions – one glaring example of the latter as I assume you will know has been the closure for these past 20 years of our previously relatively satisfactory Binfield Road public conveniences – there was room for improvement but closure did NOT fall under that head.

As a result of initiatives I began about 3 years ago in connection with the loss of our public conveniences HOME GROUND eventually carried an item about the problem. It highlighted the GLA (March 2006) report “AN URGENT NEED” - a report that until January of this year the Council had not once been able to find the where-with-all to ever mention in its monthly “LAMBETH Life” pages – though try I certainly did to remind them repeatedly to do so. I divined that it must have been a calculated political omission.

Anyway to return to my 2nd February email reproduced overleaf – I would be very interested to learn details of any occasion when Hyde's Board (which includes 2 local Lambeth Councillors - Bowyer and Robbins) may have discussed or taken any initiatives to help resolve the difficulties that exist because of the loss of our local Stockwell public toilets. I have never had a single communication from any STOCKWELL WARD COUNCILLOR highlighting the problem of public toilet provision in central STOCKWELL – none of them attended the 28 January Council CABINET that considered public toilet provision.

Thank you.
