Sandown Town Council has been forced to close the accessible toilets at St John’s Toilets and Eastern Gardens following a series of arson attempts and criminal damage.
The Town Council recently installed CCTV at both locations and has forwarded footage of individuals, believed to be responsible, to the Police and will support any action to be taken.
Mayor Alex Lightfoot has said:
“It is sad that wilful criminal damage and fires has resulted in the closure of the town’s accessible toilets, impacting on disabled users and incurring significant cost to the Town Council and local council taxpayers.
“We are working with the Police to identify those responsible, setting fire to property is a serious and potentially life-threatening thing to do, and the Town Council will do all it can to hold those responsible to account for what has happened”.
Urgent repairs have been commissioned in order to re-open the toilets as soon as possible.
Caulkheads have a thing about wrecking toilets.
Bang them up.
Instead of re-arranging the deck-chairs in the Council chamber, why don’t we start shooting morons like this?
