Sir,
Could we use your letters page to pass on our thanks to the Lochranza loos committee for keeping the public loos open. We’ve just had three days on Arran, and after watering several shrubs and trees on our walks around the island, it was a pleasant surprise (or should we say relief) to come across your public toilets. We read the notice and left a small donation toward upkeep. Maybe enough to buy a toilet roll but it all helps.
We found Arran to be a very beautiful island and very friendly. The locals are rightly proud and it was good to hear they are looking after visitors in this way. It’s unfortunate the councillors see fit to cut services that seem essential to us. Mother nature will have her way and I’m not sure where they expect ferry travellers in Lochranza to go when they need do what comes naturally.
