I had a similar experience a few weeks ago turning into Whittington Road at about 9pm one week night but it was just one man. Because I was so shocked and also because it had occurred to me that the man may be mentally ill, I'm afraid I didn't say anything.  But I agree that it's deeply disturbing that we're living amongst people who think this is acceptable.  I'm afraid I don't have any bright ideas.

Hi Diana,

Yes I see it pretty much every day in Woodside Park, where men urinate in broad daylight against the fence between the park and St. Thomas Moore School and Earlham Primary. Men working for Veolia are particularly visible in their bright gear. I talked to some of them and suggested that their behaviour near two schools and in full visibility from a playground was particularly inappropriate, but they looked at me as if I was from another planet.

I will have to write to Veolia, although they are not the only ones doing it.
