The public toilets in Watton in Thetford, Norfolk have been reopened after a £100,000 re-vamp.
The refurbishment was funded using part of the £275,000 given to Watton Town Council by Breckland Council when the district authority transferred ownership of the facilities to the town in May last year. Running costs are to be funded from the interest of the remaining £175,000 invested in bonds.
Whilst this is a huge investment in one public toilet building, the council are to be applauded for paying money towards what is an essential service every town should offer.
If only more councils could be persuaded to do the same.
