This week I noticed a “for sale” sign erected on the two vacant blocks in Mary St, adjacent to the park gates, which were previously occupied by a burnt out, arson victims’ shop.
Surely these blocks must be bought by the Gympie Regional Council as this is a once lifetime opportunity to build modern, spacious, male, female and disabled toilets and a parents room?
Maybe even plant a nice shady tree with seating and a booth for visitor information?
This would allow the demolition of the existing small outdated toilets in the laneway and allow the laneway to return to its intended purpose, a war memorial.
Council must somehow find the budget money for this, maybe from developer’s infrastructure co-contribution.
Then start planning to replace/upgrade the frequently malfunctioning, poorly designed city stage toilets, which are out of order so frequently that they are an embarrassment on our grand main street.
I have chosen to air this idea through the media, as a previous positive letter suggesting improvements re: hospital parking (IE turning King St into a one way street with angled parking) to the previous CEO was not even acknowledged as being received, despite being hand delivered to the town hall reception.
Let us see some positive action.
