Refurbishment of Public Toilets

Descriptions

Despite the pressures upon local services, the Parish Council is committed to continuing to provide publicly accessible toilets. This is in part due to the age profile of the Parish, with many of its residents being older. It is also due to proximity of the toilets to a well-used play area, which the Parish Council is also seeking to upgrade/improve. The Parish Council has consulted publicly and reviewed other options to achieve its end objective, which is to have two fully accessible toilet cubicles. These alternative options have included a new build within the general vicinity and making nearby toilets within halls accessible to the public on a 24/7 basis. There is support for retaining the existing building, which is generally in good condition and of a design which is in keeping with its environment. As a consequence, the Council has determined that its ambition can best be achieved by reconfiguring the existing toilet block and is inviting tenders on this basis.
