Refurbishment work on toilet facilities in Wooler Marketplace in Nortumberland have been completed.

The work involved refurbishment of the internal fixtures and fitting to the male, female and disabled facilities. A baby changing facility was also added. On the outside, teams carried out repairs to the roof and render facade of the building.


The improvements are also part of a wider £1.5m three-year programme of works to improve the standard of all of the 54 public toilets in the county for which the council has responsibility.

Cabinet Member Councillor John Riddle said: "At a time when many councils are closing toilets we are investing in them.

"Wooler is a busy market town and recent major investment is seeing visitor numbers grow. We are committed to having high standard, modern facilities across the county and these are just the latest in our three-year programme of works."
