Herefordshire Coun-cil has been asked by Ledbury Town Council to look into problems of access caused by people parking in the tarmac area right outside the new toilet block at the entrance to Bye Street car park.

Meanwhile Barry Ashton, Herefordshire councillor for Ledbury, has provided details concerning the planned refurbishment of the Church Lane toilets.

The plan is for three multi-sex cubicles to the installed within the existing black and white shell, a listed building.

But Coun Ashton said that Herefordshire Council was giving the work a low priority because the condition of the toilet was not too bad in comparison with others in the county.

Because of this, work is not expected to start until 2008.
