The new automated public toilets have already opened in Newington Green, City Road and Highbury Fields and will open on Holloway Road, Seven Sisters Road and Highbury Crescent on September 1. Each WC is self cleaning, with the toilet bowl, seat, floor and walls automatically disinfected after every use. At night, they'll be blitz with ozone-based night cleaning to keep them fresh. Like any good public toilet, there'll also be plenty of bins of general and menstrual waste.
Police are investigating the alleged assaults, which reportedly occurred on March 9 earlier this year. At 8.40pm in Cruikshank Street, a woman in her 20s reported being followed by a man who sexually assaulted her before walking away towards Great Percy Street.
