A debate regarding a pub's "snotty" toilet sign has seen the blame turn to the Tory government as "councils can no longer afford to maintain public toilets".
The Golden Lion on Moor Street, Ormskirk, placed a chalk board outside the pub this week with a message asking people who were not dining to use toilets elsewhere. The sign read: "We are not a public toilet. Nearest is bus station or M&S car park" with a smiley face at the end."
Following an online debate where the pub was called "snotty" for the "not nice welcome" for visitors to the area, the owners released a statement criticising the "absolute mess" the toilets were left in. The pub added they asked people for a charity donation to use the toilet but "no one adhered to this and it got harder to manage".
