Charge for public toilets in Cleethorpes to be scrapped

North East Lincolnshire Council have announced that the charge to enter a public toilet in Cleethorpes will be scrapped.

But, controversially, the Council are closing the toilet on Grant Street to cover the cost.

Currently all of the borough’s public toilets have a charge of 20p per use, but the charges will now be scrapped across the resort.

The Council say that money raised from the charges have so far helped to pay for the upkeep of the toilets along with the costs from any incidents of vandalism.

Although the public toilets on Grant Street in Cleethorpes will be closed, it is expected that those on the North Promenade and at the Boating Lake will be retained.

This will see all the remaining toilets in Cleethorpes become free-to-use.

There are currently nine public toilet facilities in the borough.

Councillor John Fenty said:

“As a seaside resort, we’re keen to do all we can to attract more people to our area and make it an even better place to visit.

“I’m pleased to be able to announce that the toilets across the resort will soon be free to use for members of the public.

“We are looking forward to the current pandemic ending so we can get outside, enjoy the sunshine and welcome visitors to our resort.”
