I have followed with interest the letters about toilets for Queen's Park, Brighton. I was the first person to organise a petition six years ago.

It had 2,500 signatures and backing from five councillors and seven schools, some of whom used the park for sporting activities, bringing children in mini-buses.

The park held many events then, a Shakespeare-in-the-park in the Royal Spa and so on, attended by hundreds.

Enough is done to encourage people to clear up dog mess but the park is turning into one great smell area. Is it not a rule that cafes must provide a toilet?

I know sewage pipes are connected to the nursery school, just a few hundred yards from the cafe, so why can these pipes not be extended?

On the Salts recreation ground at Seaford, there is a fine brick-built toilet, with changing facilities for babies, handwashing facilities and a disabled persons' toilet.

Why cannot Brighton and Hove, supposedly a city, look after needs of people in this very popular and well-used park?
