Cllr Christopher Arnold, Portfolio Holder for Street Services and Waste:
"We are determined to work with the police to eradicate the now-common practice of urination in town centre shop doorways by late-night revellers. The UriLift will help to quell this problem, offering men a public toilet facility after pubs and clubs close up for the night. From now on, there will be absolutely no excuse for this disgusting behaviour.
"I am conscious that not everyone can use the UriLift, so this week we've also let the first contract to start converting existing town centre toilets to 24 hour operation to meet all needs. However, the UriLift will send a very clear message to all that we expect people to respect Colchester's town centre by keeping it clean. Our CCTV cameras will be on the look out for anyone who continues to abuse it in any way. We will name-and-shame if we have to."
