The government has demanded public toilets reopen after warning the number of people relieving themselves outdoors poses a "harm to public health".
Ministers wrote to town halls in England today calling on them to reopen any loos that are still shuttered to stop the spread of Covid-19.
Toilets in parks and other public places were closed from March to prevent transmission of the virus. But that has left many people in a tight spot as parks reopen to social groups of up to six people - but many toilets do not.
Local government minister Simon Clarke and environment minister Rebecca Pow wrote to council chiefs today urging them to reopen loos.
