School Toilets local press letter

(unpublished by the Evening Express, second one this week)

On Monday night it was reported that PLANS are in the pipeline to upgrade the school toilets of a couple of Victorian schools in North Aberdeen. With Covid you would have assumed that all the old schools would be having such work done urgently. Early in the day John Swinney had appeared on TV saying schools were safe, but at lunchtime the FM admitted she “can’t be absolutely certain”. You would have thought that our present crisis would have led to national consideration into raising the standard of all educational washing and sanitary facilities; if only to make life a little easier for hard pressed cleaning staff.
