Statement from Eastbourne Borough Council
The community toilets at the Pier, Bandstand and Holywell now have new entrance gates and payment facilities in operation.
The toilets at Beachy Head will also require a payment of £1 once work to bring the new entrance system into operation is completed.
The introduction of a £1 facilities fee follows a consultation that showed local people supported a payment in order to keep the toilets open.
The toilets are used by high numbers of people throughout the year and obviously need to be regularly serviced, not just for cleanliness but also to help combat anti-social behaviour, including vandalism.
Vandalism has put many toilets out of action in recent years and the costs to repair them are very high. We hope that the changes and improvements we are making will reduce incidents of this nature.
Our current plan aims to have 27 community toilets available to residents and visitors across the town.
