The Suva City Council will be putting up a temporary public convenience near the Samabula Post Office by next week.
This follows concerns raised by people that there is no public convenience in Samabula after the council demolished the old one last year.
There is a lot of foot traffic in the Samabula area with a number of business houses and schools.
Three elderly women who came from Natovi this morning got off at the Samabula bus stop and they were looking for a toilet.
People are asking why the SCC has not put a public convenience.
SCC says they understand the situation but they are focusing on three other places to build toilets which include Sukhu Park, Ram Lakhan Park and Suva Market area and they are giving priority to the most busiest area.
It says construction work on the Samabula public convenience will commence in another two months-time.
When Fijivillage raised the issue that Samabula is a highly populated area with businesses, FNU and foot traffic, the Council said that the Suva market area is the most busiest place and they are currently working on that.
It highlights that they would have completed the construction of the new public convenience in Samabula but after the launch of the Help for Homes Initiative, getting building materials was one of their challenges.
