Cheriton Councillor Tim Prater is looking into the possibility of reinstating a public toilet into Cheriton Rec after a request from a local resident. The resident was pleased about plans to improve Cheriton Rec with new facilities, but raised the issue that with the nearest public toilets being some way away in Somerset Road and having no family facilities, the lack of a toilet in the park could be a public health issue.

This is a period of great change in the European Union, but also one of great uncertainty. With the final accession of the Lisbon Treaty on 1st December much has changed to the structure and workings of the Union, but if we work carefully the threatened turmoil will be avoided. I remember Paddy Ashdown saying after the 2004 accessions (when 10 countries joined the EU) that what was needed was a period of deepening the Union rather than widening, and it seems as if the last decade has been consumed by institutional wrangling, but that time is now over. We must now walk together into a new era of European cooperation, one where the principle focus is on working to improve the life of our citizens.
