Public Toilets, Dark Lane, Broseley
At a recent meeting of the Town Council, members considered the future management arrangements and costs for the public toilets. Due to the escalating repair costs, utility costs and charges for the maintenance contractor the Council is now seeking feedback from residents on usage. The estimated cost of refurbishing the toilets to an acceptable standard and improving security is around £10,000. The annual running cost is around £8,000.
The maintenance contractor has informed Council that the current usage of the toilets is minimal throughout the year, and they have been the subject of vandalism and anti-social behaviour, which is causing distress to nearby residents. In their present state they do not contribute positively towards the town’s image.
The Council is exploring a number of options for alternative toilet provision and would like to seek the views of residents by requesting that you complete and submit this very short survey.The survey will close at midday on Tuesday 7 February 2023.

Neighbourhood Plan Referendum Result
Dark Lane Toilets - Evening Closure
This is extremely disappointing news but due to continued acts of vandalism, and general antisocial behavior, the Town Council have decided to close these facilities, for a trial period of two months, from 4:30pm 7 days per week.
It is regrettable that these facilities have to be closed, however we are looking at ways of preventing the vandalism and hoping that this closure will be a temporary measure.
Thank you for your understanding.
