NORTHWICH Road lavatories have been closed for many years because, the council told me, they were too expensive to maintain.

Recently the premises have been advertised as being available to let. I have contacted the agents and put forward the following offer: I will take a tenancy of the premises to restore them as public lavatories. I will deal with the structure, pay the rent suggested at circa £15,000 pa, pay council and any other taxes, electricity, cleaning,safety, security and any other charges.

I am awaiting a response and understand other interested potential tenants include florists and coffee outlets.

In view of the vast numbers of visitors (and of course locals) coming into our lovely old town I feel there are insufficient lavatories available and my intention would be of considerable benefit to both young and old. I hope your readers will feel able to support my quest and look forward to hearing all comments.
