CAMPAIGNERS are making a last-ditch attempt to get the public toilets in Poole re-opened for the summer season.

Borough of Poole’s place overview and scrutiny committee is due to discuss the public toilet issue at a meeting tonight.

Last month the council voted to defer any discussion on reopening the toilets at Baiter Park until it had gone to the appropriate scrutiny committee.

This came as a major blow for campaigners hoping to see the toilets opened in time for the summer holidays.

But tonight's meeting offers those people against the closures one final chance to make their feelings known before the council breaks for the summer recess.

Campaigners are due to be outside the Civic Centre with placards from around 5.15pm, ahead of the 6pm meeting.

Unfortunately any decision on reopening toilets across the borough does not seem likely until September when the full council nest meets.

Campaigners therefore face a two-month wait for a decision on the future of the Baiter Park toilets - as well as other facilities which have been closed.

During Wednesday’s meeting the committee will discuss a petition put forward by Parkstone Bay Residents’ Association chairman Mike Randall, as well as a motion from opposition councillors calling for a second look at the toilet closure decision.
