New Whitley Street Public Toilets

As many people passing by will have noticed, the new public conveniences at Whitley Street have been nearly, but not quite open for some weeks now.

The contractors' Christmas holidays, combined with the weather either side of it, have caused a delay.  However, having pressed for a completion date, I've been told that 5 February is the target.

I hope people can wait that long!

As the Council's Access Forum heard in the autumn, the new facilities will improve the experience for those needing to use public conveniences - particularly those with young children or problems getting about.  Compared to other councils like Wokingham - who've closed all their public loos - this looks like good news.
