A Warminster town councillor has said the council should be ashamed of the toilet facilities in the Lake Pleasure Grounds. Conservative Denis Brett was speaking at this evening’s meeting of the Parks and Estates Committee.
At the meeting, councillors voted unanimously to spend £9,463.68 plus VAT to replace the four existing hand washing facilities in the boathouse toilets. These are over 20 years old, do not work properly and it is not possible to get replacement parts. Councillor Brett supported the proposal but urged the committee to go further. He said:
“I find the toilets absolutely awful. We should be ashamed of them.”
Warminster Town Council is exploring a long-term plan for toilet provision in the Lake Pleasure Grounds but Parks and Estates Manager Stuart Legg emphasised that the pressing need was the hand washing situation. He noted that, while toilets were being looked at, they do currently work and are being cleaned twice a day.
