Works to refurbish the Market Avenue public toilets in Chichester have finished, the local council has announced.
The site now has new disabled facilities that meet modern legislation, while other improvements include new flooring, tiling and sanitary ware.
Where suitable, solar panels and LED lights have also been installed, which are much more efficient and environmentally friendly.
The latest refurbishments follow similar work carried out at sites in Chichester's Priory Park and in Bosham, while works at East Beach toilets in Selsey are now almost complete too.
The next stage of works, which started at the beginning of this month, is the demolition and re-build of the Tower Street toilets in Chichester, which will include associated public realm enhancements.
"This work has been a major project for the council this year and I'm very pleased that the refurbishment work has concluded," said Councillor John Cross, Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport and Place at Chichester District Council.
"I'm also delighted that the works in Tower Street will replace the existing Tower Street toilets with three direct access toilets (known as modular toilets), including a disabled access toilet, plus a 'pocket park' and bicycle storage to be installed.
"This work follows a report last year which highlighted severe structural and subsidence issues which would have been too expensive to resolve. As a result, we looked at a number of options for the site, and I'm very pleased that we were able to find a solution which kept public toilets on the site."
