Pay-To-Use Loos Open In Sandown

Sandown Toilets.

Pay-to-use toilets have opened in Sandown.

The £78,000 loos, on St Johns Road, have only just opened after the pandemic caused a delay.

They offer a disabled accessible unit as well as a unisex cubicle, and are similar to the ones recently-installed at Shanklin.

Sandown Mayor Paddy Lightfoot said:

“I am delighted to see these toilets completed, after the initial plans were laid pre-Covid. However, this is just the start of modernising Council managed toilets, with future planned significant investment into Eastern Gardens and Yaverland sites.

"The Council has worked toward providing modern, useable facilities that maximise availability whilst minimising running cost."

As well as coins, the toilets can be paid for via contactless payment methods, including contactless cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay etc.

It marks the start of significant investment in Sandown’s public toilets, with the re-provision of Eastern Gardens toilets planned to take place over this winter.
