Decision details

New Community toilet provision

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To remove all 6 Automated Public Conveniences (APCs) in the borough with customers utilising alternative toilets such as those in the Mayor for London’s Toilet Scheme. Also to consider the future of the urinals at Shepherds Bush Green.

Decision:

1.      That, given the high cost of renting and maintaining the Automatic Public Toilets (APCs) versus the low level of income generated, the Council ceases to operate APCs in the borough, be approved.

 

2.      That the current contract is terminated early at the end of Year 7 (March 2013) at a one off cost of £451,000 saving the council £134,000 per annum from 2013/14 meaning an investment payback period of just over 3 years, be approved.

 

3.      That the Council promotes the London Mayor’s OpenToilet Scheme operated at minimal cost to cover advertising by the authority, be approved.
