    Woman's public toilet closure sit-in protest in Bath ends

    Proposal to close public toilets

    A 67-year-old woman who staged a sit-in at a public toilet in Bath earmarked for closure has

    ended her protest.

    Lin Patterson, from Larkhall, moved into the toilet in Twerton on Wednesday night, the day

    before it was due to be closed by the council to save money.

    But three days after moving her sleeping bag into the loos, she decided to move out on Saturday night.

    She said: "Over 2,000 people signed the petition so I think the council knows the strength of feeling now."

    In December, the council announced a proposal to sell off or close 13 public toilets in and around Bath.

    The authority, which owns 27 public toilets, said the closures could save £120,000 a year.
