What a great idea to stick open urinals up in Southend High Street.

Apart from the cost to taxpayers, which no doubt will include a handsome commission paid to the consultant who came up with this novel idea, a couple of females have been heard asking why nothing has been provided for them.

But don't worry, ladies. There is a rumour going around that steps are being taken to purchase a load of plastic buckets to be placed on street corners around the High Street area.

At this rate, we will soon be part of the Third World.
