London Installs 'Anti-Pee Walls’ To Ensure 'Splashback'!

It’s ‘peeback’ time for a London borough that has decided to install special anti-pee walls in time for Christmas.

The design is intended to punish people who urinate in public by ‘bouncing’ their pee right back at them.

Hackney Borough Council has announced it will paint hot spots with a special liquid which deflects urine, effectively soaking offenders’ shoes and trousers.

Use a toilet if you need to go. We’ve got walls that ‘wee back’ in Dalston and Shoreditch: https://t.co/27d3Qer3A5 pic.twitter.com/e3ikMb6DqT

Their anti-pee walls will be tested over the Christmas period, traditionally a busy and boozy season.

The location of the walls has not been made public, though it is known that there is one in Dalston and another in Shoreditch, both well known ‘wet spots’.

Some are accusing Hackney council of taking the piss!

Hackney Council reports: The new anti-urine coating in two “wetspots” in Shoreditch and Dalston is being trailled during the busy Christmas and New Year party season. The coating creates a barrier that completely repels liquid. This means that anyone choosing to use the walls as a toilet will see their urine bounce off, covering their shoes and trousers. It also stops urine soaking into the wall – reducing stains and smells

Hackney Council spends £100,000 each year washing urine off walls and pavements. The ‘peeback’ wall is part of a strategy to tackle the problem, including more public toilets and enforcement. The council has fined more than 500 people for public urination in 2015 – a threefold increase on last year.

There are two sets of public toilets in Dalston at Ridley Road Market and Dalston passage, open 24 hours a day. Temporary urinals are situated at New Inn Yard, Gillett Square and Anning Street at weekends. Hackney is the only London borough to be ranked in the local authority Loo of the Year Premier League.
