The country's first rising urinal is to make its ascent on the streets of Reading.

The Urilift is a tardis-like unit containing three urinals.

Cleverly hidden during the day under the pavement, disguised as a manhole cove,r it can be raised using a hydraulic system operated by remote control.

Widely used in Holland, the invention is designed to be used at night to stop men using public places as toilets.



Hopefully this facility will encourage men to walk an extra couple of yards to relieve themselves
