Confusion over toilet facilities

May 12, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,

Never in my wildest dream or imagination have I ever – not even remotely entertain the thought of a public convenience – a toilet facility to be precise could have become a cause of so much contention in Linden Town.
With so many other issues that abound and crying out for real attention, it is laughable that the Linden Town Council can expend time and energy to create so much hullaballoo over a timely and long overdue much needed public facility nearing completion at the Mackenzie Market/Car park where there was once that unsightly and unhealthy garbage dump.
Had it been something out of the ordinary-some grave violation or health hazard as was the dump site that would have been understood but its nothing of the sort.
Question: could this new Mayor and his recently installed councillors really be serious, tell us just what is/was the reason, the justification for wanting to revoke the permission given by the former administration and the dismantling of this structure? No one seems to know the basis for wanting to do so, except that “we don’t want it”.
It’s hard to figure out, one is beaten all ends up and flabbergasted to hear some of the mindless argument that are/were being raised in opposition to this project. If this is an indication of how this new body of councillors and Mayor is going to function then I’m afraid we are running on quicksand.
This is what I like to refer to as cooking with smoke – why! To all those folks who are up in arms against this facility, in all fairness, wisdom and decency tell me would you have preferred? that sick, disgusting unsightly and unhealthy stench of garbage to remain even to our detriment!
Just what exactly would you have wanted? Isn’t the erection of this public convenience at least some quality of improvement, a thoughtful, decent and meaningful investment and contribution towards the upliftment of this town, don’t we all desire improvement, the best of whatever? Sure we do!
Come on fellow Lindeners let us put aside monkey business and stop being myopic. This facility as I have observed is a simple and nicely constructed moderate building, built to a quality acceptable standard, divided into two sections that caters for both male and female with 11 receptacles bowls installed, 6 in the female section and 5 in the male section along with 4 wall urinals and two bathrooms – one in each section and of course a dressing compartment with flooring and walls are neatly tiled.
I am willing to bet pennies to pins that the benefit and demand during certain activities in the Town will be so overwhelming that many will be forced to view it from an entirely different perspective hence a more positive and enlightened outlook and appreciation.
