The post you are reporting:
Vic old fruit, you need to expand your horizons, particularly as the area covered by this conversation is Dover & District, or the areas under the control of DDC. It's quite important to understand this if you are do anything for UKIP in the upcoming GE. There are a number of public toilets that could be made redundant if the local retailers were a bit more socially aware.
I don't personally see why we, the tax payer, should subsidise private enterprise to do what any normal, socially conscious organisation should do for its community. If there are organisations that won't play ball, well, name and shame them publicly. For those who are prepared to "do their bit", well name them too, in a positive way of course.
If we could get this campaign rolling it is quite possible that over 50% of the public loo's could be closed without any impact whatsoever. Tax payers money will be saved and everyone wins.
As for knocking down and rebuilding the loo's that are closed, well, what is the point of that? Maybe run an architectural competition amongst the locals similar to Trafalgar Square, and replace the old loo buildings with something more appealing. Maybe flatten the sites, install some seating and turn them into places where residents can have a rest and enjoy the day. Just suggestions, none of it rocket science, but if DDC spent over £100,000 on bus shelters for yobs, then surely they could spend a little something for the rest of the community?
