The installation of Portaloos at Burry Port harbour has left campaigners sensing the scent of victory in a long toilet saga. Pembrey and Burry Port Town Council had toilets on the east side of the harbour removed last winter for cost reasons, sparking anxiety among residents and visitors.
There is a permanent public toilet on the west side of the harbour outside Crazie Crepes Cafe - and boat owners can use a key-coded toilet - but a campaign highlighting the need for greater provision at the popular tourist destination has grown in recent weeks.
Now the town council, following discussions with Carmarthenshire Council, has installed two Portaloos as a temporary measure on the east side - with a third to follow shortly - and has submitted a planning application for Portacabin-style toilets as a longer-term arrangement. Subject to planning consent, they could be in place in three months' time.
