Public toilets reopen after major refurbishment

Brighton & Hove City Council said the upgrades had been to make the facilities more accessible

The public toilets at Ovingdean Undercliff have reopened after a major refurbishment programme.

Brighton & Hove City Council said the work had been to make the facilities more accessible and family friendly.

The newly refurbished site includes updated facilities, family rooms and ambulant cubicles, as well as a refurbished accessible toilet at the front of the building.

The toilets are open between 10:00 BST and 18:00 during the summer months, and 10:00 and 16:00 during the winter.

The upgrade at Ovingdean Undercliff is part of a second phase of work to improve the condition of toilets across Brighton and Hove.

Councillor Tim Rowkins said the council had been working tirelessly to refurbish and reopen toilets across the city "so that residents and visitors can get out and enjoy themselves with confidence".

"As well as dramatically improving our toilet facilities, our refurbishment programme has had a major focus on making sure they are accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities and young families.

"We know how essential it is to be able to access suitable public facilities in the places where they need them, and it has been a top priority for us."
