Wirral Council has confirmed that it will close five of its nine public toilets in the borough.
Members of the authority’s economy, regeneration and housing committee voted to go ahead with proposals to shut toilets at Moreton Cross, West Kirby Concourse, Meols Parade, New Ferry and Thornton Hough. Facilities at West Kirby Marine Lake, Harrison Drive in New Brighton, Hoylake and Moreton Common will remain despite closures elsewhere.
Wirral Council is closing the loos in a bid to make major savings, after a vote in February in which the authority agreed to make £20m worth of budget cuts. This followed two damning reports which criticised the council for not making tough decisions.
