BBC News - Public toilets offered to community councils again

BBC News - Public toilets offered to community councils again: "All but five of Carmarthenshire's public toilets are again going to be offered to town and community councils as the county tries to save £79,000.

Only those at Llansteffan, Ferryside, Pendine, Burry Port and Cenarth will remain under county council control.

Councils taking over any of the 28 other toilets will be given £1,000 and not be charged business rates.

Ammanford's mayor said she sympathised with the county council but said going to the toilet was a basic need.

It is the second time that Carmartheshire has tried to hand over most of its public toilets.

'We first wrote to the town and community councils in September last year to ask if they would consider taking over the responsibility for public conveniences,' said Coun Philip Hughes, executive board member for the environment."
