Torquay toilets temporarily close

An updated on the closure of the ladies and disabled toilets in Union Street which are closed for health and safety reasons.

Update 31 May 2018

The Old Town Hall, Union Street toilets are now open.

Update 29 November 2017

As you are aware the ladies and disabled toilets in Union Street are still unfortunately closed due to health and safety reasons. This is due to a water leak that caused an electrical fault.

This building is not owned by Torbay Council, but the toilets are leased to us, and the owner of the building has now appointed a local building firm to assess the problem and carry out the necessary repairs. A Structural Engineer will also be attending this week to assess the damage to the internal structure of the building.

Once we know the building is safe to enter we can then carry out the necessary repairs to the electrical system of the toilets.

Further updates will be available towards the end of the week once we have received feedback from the structural engineer.

We apologise for any inconvenience this closure has caused and we are trying our best to get these toilets reopened as quickly as possible.
