Pissoirs?

As someone who is sick of the mess, stench and health hazard caused by those 'caught short' using our closes, stairs and vennels, I wonder if this might represent a solution?

These could sit well within Leith's historic streetscape.

Interesting as the image is, might it not be better to have some form of design competition to solve the problem you highlight. I heard of a development trust being set-up for this very purpose to run public loos!!! Is there money to be had?

A design competition sounds like a jolly good idea. The pic was merely to suggest one solution. In CEC's hands i fear we would end up with some freebie from Adshel.

I do not intend that CEC gets involved at all. Lets meet and discuss a way forward
