COUNCIL bosses are set to make a final decision to close eight public toilets in Poole.
It comes after the original decision to close the toilets by Borough of Poole's cabinet was called-in to be discussed again following opposition from councillors and residents.
At the call-in meeting last month the committee recommended cabinet moves forward with the closures – which would leave only 15 public toilets open out of 30 before closures began.
However it was also recommended that the toilets be mothballed – which means they wouldn’t be destroyed but left in good condition while officers establish options with alternative providers.
The toilets affected are at Baiter Park, Branksome Recreation Ground, Alexandra Park, Charborough Road (Broadstone Recreation Ground), Constitution Hill, Parkstone Park, Poole Road, and The Haven.
The borough has said the new wave of closures will save £100,000 in addition to the £193,000 already recouped by other public toilet closures.
Cabinet will give its final decision to move forward with the closures at a meeting on Tuesday (March14)
