SIR — I truly don't understand the lack of public toilets in a seaside town.

A few weeks ago we went to Lyme Regis for a couple of days and there were free public toilets eveywhere.

For a town smaller than Minehead, it had four, maybe five, public toilets, and the ones we used over the stay were clean and smelled clean too.

How can you charge so much for parking on the seafront and then expect famillies to find the toilets in the Co-op car park? It beggars belief.

Lyme was busy, no empty shops, only a few being updated. No Costa coffee chain, just independant shops and cafés.

If they can do it why cant we?
