Bognor's public loos flush with five-star treatment

The 53,000 revamp has transformed the public conveniences in Bedford Street.

The modern facilities fitted include a dedicated child's urinal, vandal proof fittings as well as touch-free hand washers and flushes. A general redecoration has also taken place.

An area that had been used as a dumping ground for rubbish behind the toilets has also been cleared.

The result of the eight-week improvement programme by Arun District Council has been welcomed by shoppers.

One of them, Jeannette Smith, 78, from Pagham, said: "The new toilets are a big improvement on the old ones. It's really nice to use them."

Paul Wotherspoon, in charge of Arun's environment services, said: "The provision of pleasant toilet facilities is a small but crucial element in making a visit to Bognor Regis all the more enjoyable for both residents, shoppers and those who come to admire the town's lovely seafront."

The cost of maintaining the toilets is met by Bognor Regis Town Council. Town mayor Jen Gillibrand said: "Being central to the town, the toilets are much used by both residents and visitors."
