I can't understand how they can put something like that up there when you have to have consent to have an extension.”ĭoug has complained to Haslemere Town Council over his belief that more people should have been asked about the plans. Isabel said: “I can't understand something that has such an impact on the area can be put up without consulting the local residents.” She told me that neither she, nor her daughter who also lives near the Green were ever asked about the plans. One thing that Isabel, Doug, and Gillian brought up was the lack of consultation. “It would be a perfect place for people to go from the pub, into the toilet, have a bit of a deal and then walk off with nobody being able to see them.” Unlike Isabel, Gillian's concern is that putting the toilets, near the Apple Tree Pub, could encourage people to loiter and bring drug crime to the area. She admitted that “if you could grow plants over” the area it might look better, but said the location was the biggest problem.

Gillian Parker, 69, used even stronger language calling the building ”grotesque”. Doug Chandler, who lives nearby, pointed out that the current building “looks nothing like it was supposed to in the original council agreement” and is an “eyesore.” He thinks that they will make the nearby cafe and pub unpleasant to eat in. Isabel is not the only one who is frustrated with its appearance. It's on what was a lovely little green space, there were daffodils growing there… and now they have planted this right on top of it.” Isabel described how it was her first reaction to laugh, she added: “It's just appalling… just the ugliest building you could ever imagine. When we had that terrific rain last autumn you couldn’t get across Wey Hill Road at the bottom because it was like a river” In fact, she believes the brief existence of the puddle dubbed the Haslemere lido shows that this area is “a little floodplain.” “It's a concern for me because that corner really floods. Isabel describes that over time the new toilet block was “just plonked” a few metres away from the original hole.

Isabel Campos, 71, works opposite Lion Green at the community centre and has been following the installation since the beginning. Instead, the toilets have been the centre of saga which still hasn't reached its conclusion. There is a playground nearby, and the Town Council thought the loos would give the kids a place to do their business. The plan was to build a toilet block on the East side of Lion Green, near the M&S. Eight months on some locals have been talking to Surrey Live about their ongoing fight against the loos. These cheeky reviews are actually making fun of a toilet block in Haslemere, that the town council have been trying to build since January. According to Google Reviews the Haslemere lido is “wonderful”, a “lovely spot to cool off” and a “fantastic” place for the kids.
