Sandown Town Council will consider taking over the long-closed Pier Street Toilets site as part of efforts to revitalise the town’s seafront.
The public toilets, located in one of the busiest tourist areas of Sandown, have been shut for several years. They have only reopened on a temporary basis during the summer months when funding has been provided by the Town Council.
The site has long been seen as a key piece in the wider regeneration of Sandown’s seafront. However, the Isle of Wight Council’s latest attempt to redevelop the location and reprovision public facilities has now fallen through.
As a result, Sandown Town Council is considering approaching the Isle of Wight Council with a proposal to take over the site and repurpose it as a public amenity.
The matter will be discussed at an Extra-Ordinary Meeting of the Town Council on Monday 27th October at 19:00, to be held at the Broadway Centre.
and how much to use a brick building toilet ? £1?
The Island numpties are killing off tourism
no one wants to pay to use toilets.
50p in Yaverland car park,50p St John’s Rd car park and
50p by the Sundial cafe.
Who said Dick Turpin is D E A D
Theh are “literally” taking the P I S S
Maybe it will be another premier type shop as we don’t have enough convenient stores. .I see a lot of world beer and spirits in the new world food store on the high street.
Anything is better than the current structure.
It is being used as a FREE car park
IW COUNCIL say they need money and they
increase our Council tax every year
YET THEY LEG PEOPLE EVADE PARKING CHARGES
IW COUNCIL ARE A JOKE
DO WHAT OTHER COUNCILS ARE DOING AROUND
THE COUNTRY.
MANY COUNCILS ARE CHARGING LARGER SIZE
VEHICLES DOUBLE PARKING CHARGES
Yet they Leg people. lol you are such a txxxx
Its sad and pathetic..tourist destination..sandown just a dump.
They should knock this eyesore down and
create paid for parking spaces.
At present this area is full of vehicles parked
FREE OF CHARGE ON PAVEMENTS INSIDE A
“PEDESTRIANISED ZONE”
Only the IW Council could allow such behaviour,
on the mainland where there are rules
these vehicles would be clamped then
towed away
Roll on devolution, the island lacks
brains.
Fallen through? How hard is it to fix the toilets? Just been in Kent. Toilets in small villages that are ancient. You don’t have to impress people. Id go back there, but if I came here on holiday, I’d be unlikely to return , even though I like living here.
They need demolishing so do the ones near Newport bus station and not forgetting the council offices ball and chain would do the job.
