The long running saga of the closure of Bridlington Old Town toilets is set to be wiped away.
After a closure lasting over a year, the toilets on the junction of St John Street and High Street will finally re-open on Monday 24 October.
Due to constant vandalism of the male and female toilets, the decision was made by Bridlington Town Council to close the facility last year.
With the increase in footfall in the Old Town, many traders feared it could be detrimental to the area as a tourist attraction, especially during festival times.
Chris Daniels who is the owner of Rhapsody Coffee & Company on High Street, said: “I’m bowled over, it’s been a big job and a bit of an inconvenience to vistors, but it is good news for the Old Town. I have been happy to let people use my bog-standard toilets at my cafe if they needed to spend a penny.”
A spokesperson for Bridlington Town Council said: “St John’s Toilets will be re-opened on Monday 24th October following repair work.
“There is still some ongoing remedial work to be done and some cosmetic work that will be carried out in better weather, hopefully these will not cause to much disturbance.”
If any one see’s any further damage please report it to our office’s at 2A Marshall Avenue or by calling 01262 409006.
