School slammed by parents for barricading toilets shut during lesson time

The school has decided to barricade and lock toilets during lesson times, but the plan has been branded 'disgusting' by some parents as kids are left queueing for the loos at break times.

Castle View School in Essex took the decision in a bid to stop anti-social behaviour. But many pupils and parents have not been impressed with some even saying it sounds like a breach of human rights.
