CAN I bring to your attention on behalf of my mum the disgraceful and disgusting state of the public loos in the Coleford area. I was under the impression that money had been set aside to clean them up on a regular basis. To my horror I was confronted with all manner of things on the wall and in the toilet.

If the service isn't improved at least they ought to been kept on eye on and cleaned once a day at least. On this occasion they looked as if they hadn't been touched since the council upgraded them last summer. At the end of the day mum pays her taxes and  should be able to use these facilities in comfort and not be confronted by what she saw.
