Lavatories used as cheap lodgings
‘The locks on a block of public toilets are being changed following complaints it was being used as cheap lodgings.
With heating, a wash basin, a peg and a mirror, the eight cubicles in Stamford Hill, Hackney, east London, are cheap accommodation at just 20p a night.
Local businesses said there was competition for the cubicles and many wanted the more spacious disabled loo.’
