Decision details

Members were informed of the current provision of Public Conveniences in the borough.

It was noted that each of the four main Town Centres has one public convenience located within it. Members considered the possibility of establishing a changing places toilet to assist people with disabilities in the town centres.

RECOMMENDED to the Finance and Resources Committee that a budget of £140,000 be set aside to allow the installation of a high quality Space to Change plus a unisex toilet facility adjacent to the former Explore Learning Unit in Beeston. Reflecting its location immediately adjacent to the bus/tram interchange it is suggested that this be largely funded via s.106 ITPS and any shortfall via a new General Fund capital allocation. A formal tendering exercise would be required.
