Public beach loo closures spark anger

BEACHGOERS in Looe are said to be urinating on the sand since the closure of a set of public toilets. Local business owners say visitors to Talland Bay are also defecating in the sea.

It was reported that the public toilets at Talland Bay, owned by Cornwall Council, have been closed since 2016 when the parish council agreed to take on running the toilets.

Although there is an agreement said to be in place to hand them over to the parish council once work to bring them up to standard is complete, the work hasn’t been carried out and the transfer has yet to be completed. Since the closure seven years ago, Cornwall Council funded temporary facilities, but this funding has been withdrawn and a local beach cafe was left to pay the £7,000 running costs for the temporary toilets. Cornwall Council has put the delay in resolving the toilet issue at the bay down to finances.
