Five of Wirral’s nine council-run public toilets are set to close, with just four to remain.
Plans to close toilets at Moreton Cross, West Kirby Concourse, Meols Parade, New Ferry and Thornton Hough will be voted on at a meeting of Wirral Council’s Economy, Regeneration and Housing Committee on Monday, June 13. While five public toilets are set to close, facilities at West Kirby Marine Lake, Harrison Drive in New Brighton, Hoylake and Moreton Common will remain under current plans.
Wirral Council needs to make major savings, after February’s council vote saw the authority agree to a budget featuring £20m worth of cuts. This followed two damning reports which criticised the council for not making tough decisions.
