Sir,
Congratulations to Diana Burns for her suggestion for a toilet tax in her letter published in the Banner on July 22. We have been discussing such a tax with neighbours and visitors.
One visitor stated that since all of the locals already have toilets, it is the visitors who have the most need of public toilets. He suggested a 50p toilet tax on every ferry passenger who comes to the island. Such a small amount should be reasonable for every visitor and could be collected on the ferry. Funds collected would be used to refurbish and maintain public toilets on the island.
