Devonshire Square Toilets Update

DEVONSHIRE SQUARE TOILETS UPDATE

Bexhill-on-Sea Town Council is pleased to announce that we have come to an agreement with Rother District Council to reopen the toilets in Devonshire Square this weekend.

The block is owned by Network Rail who had an informal agreement with Rother District Council to provide public toilets. Rother District Council shut the toilets last month as part of a trial cost saving initiative. During this time the Town Council has been negotiating a long-term lease to take over the service from Network Rail.

In order to keep this essential public service open until the lease with Network Rail is complete, Bexhill-on-Sea Town Council have agreed to fund the current cleaning and maintenance contract to allow Rother District Council to re-open the toilets.

Some work is required tomorrow however we expect the toilets to be open by Saturday 9th December.

Town Mayor Lynn Brailsford said “I am delighted with this outcome and would like thank my fellow Bexhill-on-Sea Town Councillors and our staff for their hard work, which has resulted in this positive outcome for residents and businesses in Bexhill.”
