GIVEN the large number of people now appearing on Bournemouth’s beaches, can BCP council please open the toilets along the beach front?

The toilets at Alum Chine remain closed, but many of the beach visitors will assume that toilets will be available.

As a local resident, I’m aware that people are using the chine and local woodland as an open air toilet. This is a health issue in its own right.

Furthermore, there is some evidence that Covide-19 is excreted in faeces. With the forecast of ongoing good weather, this issue will likely continue. The provision of toilets is essential.
