Drug-users force closure of UK library toilets

Swindon, England‘s main library has shut its toilets for good after drug addicts left them in a disgusting state.

Library staff and visitors were regularly confronted with a mess and vandalism.

But when someone defecated in the middle of the floor it was the last straw and the council decided to close them permanently.

It is the latest effort by the council to control widespread anti-social behaviour in the town’s libraries.

Council spokesman Richard Freeman said: “We had to close the toilets.

“Users left the toilets in a disgusting state. There was also a lot of vandalism.
