Omobono Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 just looking at the feeble excuse for introducing a charge to use the public toilets in Nobles park and councillor Andrew Bentley's pathetic excuse on Manx radio , he says its mostly down to vandalism , but not prepared to monitor the entrance to the toilets with a CCTV camera , No stick a 20p charge right across the board and seemingly include all the other council run public conveniences , As a Douglas ratepayer I think its an absolute disgrace that public toilets and baby changing facilities have now become a cash cow ,for the corporation , whatever happened to providing rate funded public health and toilet facilities for the town and its visitors , the town is scruffy, dirty , and soon because of this decision some people will be relieving themselves in all sorts of places , and young children , particularly in the play areas on the promenade and the parks requiring money from their parents to go to the toilet , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Bentley and Micheal Josem talking about cones and the general failings of government. This Josem clip really needs to be made into a sad Gif that can be reproduced every time government failings are discussed. Why the fuck is he wearing a name badge 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Eventually they’ll probably develop an app which calculates how big a dump you've had, how much bog-roll you used and whether or not you washed your hands after use and charge accordingly. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Douglas Town Council is a laughing stock, the worst council in years and now the toilet debacle. The chap that was on today explained that the TT people would not have to pay, so that is alright 🥵 but after the festival is over the public will have to find 20p every time they need to relieve themselves, people have not got pockets full of change anymore. However if the splash thing is operating the toilets are free….how is that going to work 🙄 you could not make it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I went to Shaws Brow car park toilet yesterday armed with 20 pence coins but only had to push the door and it opened, so got a freebie. To be honest I don’t begrudge 20pence, ( have you seen the price of toilet paper lately?) and if it goes towards a more pleasant lavatorial experience I’m all for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-lane Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 From the job description it looks like the position of Chief Officer is redundant. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you can't expect the actual Chief Officer (Environmental) of one of the world's great megacities like Douglas to do anything - they're far too important for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
