Given the present Covid19 emergency an assessment has concluded that the continued use of public toilets represents an unacceptable risk to the public and contracted cleaning staff.
Toilet paper and soap are being taken from the toilets rendering them unhygienic and unsafe to use as hand washing cannot be undertaken.
It is not possible to constantly restock toilets to ensure they are useable given the frequency of theft and national shortages of toilet paper and soap.
Cleaning staff are concerned for their safety and welfare.
Local Police officers have challenged why the toilets remain open as the availability of these facilities can be seen to encourage the public to not stay at home.
Therefore on the grounds of safety the public toilets should close as soon as possible.
