POP-UP urinals could be installed along a night club strip in Bournemouth town centre as part of a review of public toilets.

A charge of around 20p could also be introduced for toilets in “strategic locations” which would raise around £40,000 for Bournemouth Borough Council per year.

The recommendations are part of a report by Wiltshire firm healthmatic to be put to councillors at a special joint scrutiny meeting for environment and economy and children and families next Monday.

The pop-up urinal, or Urilift, is a stainless steel cylindrical structure that is above ground when needed and completely hidden underground for the rest of the time.

If approved the urinals would be installed at strategic points along Old Christchurch Road in a bid to cut down on “bad street urination issues”.

Officers are recommending that the council explores the Community Toilet Scheme whereby toilets in shops and council buildings would be opened up to the public.

In addition they are recommending that up to nine public toilets remain closed with the possibility of the sites being rented or sold off at venues including Holdenhurst Road, Meyrick Park, Cemetery Junction, King’s Road in Charminster and Pelhams Park.

The Community Toilet Scheme has already proved a hit with a number of other authorities, including Richmond Upon Thames, Westminster City and Brighton and Hove.

Bournemouth council does not have a statutory duty to provide public toilets, the meeting will hear.

Different types of public toilet may also be introduced across the town, including toilets which have doors that open automatically after 15 minutes if there is violent movement in the cubicle and finally directs a jet of water into the cubicle to repel drug users and rough sleepers.
