Town Centre Toilets - Deep Clean Programme Launched Today

I launched the new programme of 'deep cleans' of all the public toilets in the town centre today. I was at the toilets by the bus station, under Allhallows car park today, where I tried out the high-powered steam cleaning machine that will be used there on Sunday and Monday. Many residents have told me that the bus station toilets are are not as good as other public conveniences, but of course with the toilets due to be knocked down as part of the redevelopment of this area of the town centre, we are not going to spend vast amounts of taxpayers' money refurbishing them. I have instructed that this deep clean takes place to ensure good standards of hygiene, however, to be followed by a continuing programme in the coming weeks at each of the other town centre facilities.

There are also repairs taking place at the bus station toilets, with new toilet seats and other fittings. The intensive, deep cleans will allow us to clean the toilets more thoroughly, in addition to the ongoing regime the Council carries out at all of the town centre facilities.
