A man has defended the use of parts of the city as a toilet as he says there are a lack of public toilets for people to use in the area.

He claims there is an 'absence of toilet facilities' in the city, meaning that people resort to using other means.

This comes after pedestrians were greeted to a large pile of faeces and a pool of urine in a lift at the High Street footbridge.

Members of the public got in touch with Lincolnshire Live after stumbling across the mess on Monday, March 25.

However, Gussy Threep who got in touch with Lincolnshire Live says that we should expect it, due to a lack of proper facilities.

He said: "Surprise, surprise the public have, due to the absence of toilet facilities, been using the railway crossing lift, St Peters Passage or in fact any dark or sheltered spots in the city.

"What do the council expect if a natural bodily function is not catered for.

"Even as a visitor my disabled RADAR key doesn't work in the Bus Station.

"They expect me to purchase a swipe card for my infrequent trips to Lincoln.

"Perhaps for those elderly or with weak bladders they could add a line to the County boundary signs in short or called short to paraphrase the film title " No County for Old Men " or indeed women."
