COUNCIL POISED TO END 20P CHARGE FOR PUBLIC WCs IN CLEETHORPES - BUT GRANT STREET PREMISES WILL CLOSE

CHARGES at public WCs in Cleethorpes are set to be scrapped.

Money raised from the 20p charge has helped to pay for the upkeep of the facilities along with meeting repair costs from any incidents of vandalism.

To fund the move, North East Lincolnshire Council has announced the closure of  the public loos on Grant Street in Cleethorpes.

It says it will also "look at options" with businesses for "opportunities" with the North Promenade and  Boating Lake  premises.

Says NELC's deputy leader, Cllr John Fenty: “As a seaside resort, we’re keen to do all we can to attract more people to our area and make it an even better place to visit.

“I’m pleased to be able to announce that the toilets across the resort will soon be free to use for members of the public.

“We are looking forward to the current pandemic ending so we can get outside, enjoy the sunshine and welcome visitors to our resort.”

The authority has not specified a date for the ending of the charge.

The majority of these toilets will still be managed by the council's private sector partner, Danfo.
