Heighington has been named the PERFECT village and Mike Amos` Eatingowt has just labeled the George & Dragon as (almost) the PERFECT PUB. The recent POST OFFICE closure may now be followed by Darlington Borough Council`s proposed closure of our PUBLIC TOILETS.Not all our residents live around the two village greens and the village attracts many visitors, not all using the local pubs with their toilet facilities. What will these two groups do if they need a toilet after such a closure? Will the "gents" emulate "Clochemerle" behind the adjacent low wall--not to mention the "ladies" problems?

A PETITION against the closure can be signed in various village shop /pubs locations. At least this is an improvement on the absence of any petition against the Post Office`s closure!
