We do sympathise with Helen Brownstone who has Crohn's disease (Letters, February 19) and has to use the toilet frequently and, as others have written, deplores the lack of toilets in Brighton and Hove.

This issue was raised with the Older People's Council at their last meeting and is now forming an inquiry we are undertaking together with a survey and comparison into how other places fare.

We will be publicising our findings in due course, but in the meantime would welcome comment or contribution.

We can be reached on 01273 296427.
