Thousands sign petition to keep toilets open

More than 20,000 people have signed a petition calling on Highland Council not to close its public toilets across the north of the region.

The local authority, the UK’S largest provider of public conveniences, is reviewing the future running of the service.

Campaigners gathered thousands of signatures from residents of Scourie, Kinlochbervie and Durness. Thousands more added their names using an online petition. Tourists have been among those to sign the petition, which is being handed to Highland Council.
