An Allerdale councillor has picked the wrong people to fight with over public toilets, he has been told. Adrian Kirkbride, an independent councillor, approached Maryport Town Council about having public toilets back in the town despite the fact there is one in Irish Street owned by Allerdale. Cllr Kirkbride posted on social media: “Having received word back from Maryport Town Council that they will not support my aim of having public toilets back in Maryport. Disappointed isn’t the word but hope is not lost at my end, I’ll be trying other angles to have these put in place. So please bear with me, it’s not over yet. Thanks to those who have messaged me with support to date, it is appreciated and I’ll keep you updated as I continue this uphill marathon.”
