She said it did “look state-of-the-art”, but added: “I’d much rather they built just a normal set of toilets and charged nothing, than one really slick one and charged a pound.”Asked about using the squat toilet, Boyd said: “I certainly think if I’m going to spend £1, I’m not going to squat as well. That is absolutely crazy.”Lloyd, visiting from Boston in Lincolnshire, said: “I wanted to go spend a penny, and I spent a pound,” adding that the charge was “extortionate”.Thornburrow acknowledged signage needed to be better at the toilets, and added that the council would be reviewing cost “probably after six or 12 months to see if it’s working and what lessons we can learn”.
