council spokesman
“We intend to use the pop-up loo to tackle the problem of people urinating in shop doorways and on the streets of our town centre. “Guildford’s retailers and the council’s street cleaning crews spend a great deal of time washing and disinfecting areas that have been affected by this problem.” The issue of men relieving themselves in public has been something Guildford authorities have been trying to tackle for number of years.

spokesman for Surrey Police:
“We think that the Urilift will be a positive thing for the town centre. “If they’re used properly, they will be of benefit to the community and generally people using the town at night.” Town centre incidents of urinating include a man who was caught relieving himself through the letterbox of a house in Walnut Tree Close, last November. Last December, a man threatened to beat up bouncers outside a Guildford nightclub, before urinating in an alleyway.
