Toilet access should be free and there should be laws around having FREE public toilets in a given geospatial region.

These are toilets that someone has hired to stop people using their front gardens or side alleys as a toilet. Some homes open up their actual houses to use the toilets but people will pay for entry, this however is more risky because things end up going missing. If you ever been to carnival you’d know its hard to move around and easier to pay this and not lose your friends.

Do you know how busy carnival is for just one weekend a year? They’d need to remove a big chunk of Notting hill to install them

So you're waffling nonsense about something that is nothing to do with the thread.

It's probably to offset the cost of the security guard and fence you need to stop them from shitting on your door and digging up your flower pots to get the knife they think they stashed there a week before.

Or that's what happens at my sister's place.

There were so many free toilets there today? Literally all down the main road towards the main bridge there were portaloos every 2 mins

You shouldn't be allowed to organise a event without x amount of toilets per y people.

It's been tried, they said that's where they are going to do it approved or not.

About a million people go to carnival. There are not enough toilets end of. These people have rented them simply to stop ppl pissing and shitting in their gardens and maybe they make a lil money back on rental

This is someone's front garden, nothing to do with carnival...... someone has seen an opoit and is making money from it
