WARMINSTER Town Council is set to reopen the public conveniences and is working towards an opening date of July 1 at the latest.

Wiltshire Council closed the public toilets in the town on April 1 and the Town Council has since been working hard to try and draw up the required paperwork and contracts.

Mayor Paul Macfarlane said: “Sadly it’s not just a case of handing over the keys, there’s a lot of other business to think about.

“I know it’s been frustrating for people, I have witnessed looking disappointed at seeing notices after hoping to use the public toilets.

“But following the hard work of the council, we are happy to announce that they will be reopened in the near future.”

All councillors agreed that they would like to see the conveniences reopened as soon as possible as there had been much dismay from the public over their closure.

Councillors also voted unanimously to accept the quotation from The Landscape Group of an annual cost of £18,858 to clean and secure the public conveniences in the Central Car Park and the town park.
