Kingston Council, led by Liberal Democrat Sir Ed Davey, spent £13,400 converting public toilets to a gender-neutral facility, prompting criticism for financial mismanagement. Critics argue that this move, made against a backdrop of rising living costs and a 5% council tax increase, exemplifies poor judgment. While some legal experts advocate for gender-neutral facilities alongside single-sex toilets as a way to comply with legal standards and accommodate transgender needs, local Conservative politicians claim the spending is unjustifiable and reflects a disregard for community financial priorities. Kingston Council has yet to respond to the allegations.
The Liberal Democrat-run Kingston Council squandered 13,000 of taxpayers' money on gender-neutral toilet conversions, all while imposing a 5 percent council tax hike.
At a time when families are grappling with rising living costs, this is not just poor judgment, it's a flagrant disregard for the priorities of hard-working people.
