Draft Local Toilet Strategy 2023

The first Local Toilet Strategy for Pembrokeshire County Council was published May 2019, the focus of which was to take a strategic view on how we can secure the future of as many existing toilets as possible, increase provision beyond that of traditional standalone toilet blocks in the County and improve access for all users.

The financial situation for Local Authorities in 2019 was challenging and many had already closed toilets within their areas to meet budget saving targets. Local Authorities have never had a statutory duty to supply toilet provision although perception is often that councils are responsible for this service.

Whilst we recognise the importance of facilities to residents, visitors and the economy, the strategy has been reviewed and revised, taking into consideration the current financial climate which is even more challenging than when the first strategy was written.

The production of this strategy does not mean that all existing provision provided by Pembrokeshire County Council will remain. We will look to establish sustainable models for funding provision across the county provided by a variety of sources.

The Draft Pembrokeshire Local Toilet Strategy is available elsewhere on this page.
