More than 3,000 people have signed a petition against the plans

Solihull Council decided to close all the toilets in the centre of the town in June to save �7m, but then decided to keep toilets in Chelmsley Wood open.

But local councillor Jim Ryan wants all the toilets to be saved.

He has set up a portable loo in Solihull and said he would protest until the decision was reversed.

"It's a disgrace that the council has closed down the facilities and denied Solihull people a basic right of being able to go to the toilet," he said.

"Over the last month I have met people who are in great distress because they're on water tablets, they have prostate problems and they want to use the facilities and they can't."
