One of the most-used toilet blocks in Great Malvern is set to undergo an eco-friendly refurbishment as part of a £200,000 project.
Improvements for the Grange Road toilet block were approved at the Executive Committee Meeting on Tuesday 18 January 2022.
The plans form part of the council's Five Year Plan to invest in the refurbishment of five town centre toilets by 2025 and reduce the Council's own use of electricity and water.
The following improvements will be made as part of the refurbishment:
- The installation of solar roof tiles with battery storage (subject to planning
- Low flush toilets and low water usage taps with built in legionella protection
- New cubicles including ambulant cubicles in both male and female toilets
- LED lighting
- New sanitaryware and tiling throughout
- Repair and replacement of windows
- Improved facilities for disabled and those with ambulant disabilities
- External redecoration
Cllr Peter Whatley, Portfolio Holder for Resources at Malvern Hills District Council said: "The public toilets were last refurbished over 15 years ago and as one of the highest used toilet facilities the refurbishment in Grange Road is a priority. Making eco-friendly improvements and reducing the usage of water and electricity will also have a valuable impact on the environment, so we are really looking forward to getting the project started".
