llanblogger's Phil Robinson was this lunchtime interviewed on BBC Radio Wales about problems with the public toilets in Riverside Park.
The loos, next to the refreshment area, have not been working properly for some time and Denbighshire County Council, which is responsible for them, has decided on a full refurbishment programme which is due to be completed later this summer.
In the meantime Llangollen county councillor Karen Edwards insisted that a temporary portable toilet should be set up in the park, and this happened recently.
This toilet was vandalised over the weekend but the county council has said it is due to be back in operation this afternoon.
The whole public toilet issue was tackled today in the lunchtime phone-in run by Jason Mohammad on Radio Wales.
Among those interviewed was Phil Robinson of llanblogger.
He gave a full run-down on the problems at Riverside Park and when asked by the presenter if there would be a charge for the refurbished facilities, he replied that whatever charge was eventually made he hoped it wouldn't be as much as the controversial new £1 fee for using the Denbighshire-run public loos in Market Street.
When he suggested this was possibly one of the highest charges in Wales if not the whole of the UK, Jason Mohammad seemed shocked and said he would probably have to agree.
Questioned about reports, mainly on social media, that parents were letting their children "wee" in the park at Riverside because the toilets were unavailable, Phil said he didn't doubt this had happened but suggested it may not have been a regular occurrence as far as he knew.
