PUBLIC toilets in Crowthorne are set to be demolished in a move which will see the borough left with just three public loos.

The loos, on Napier Road, will be knocked down as part of a £10,000 redevelopment of the site should plans be approved.

If this proposal is given the go-ahead, space could be turned into additional parking bays with the potential to provide electric car charging at the car park to the rear, which is just off Crowthorne High Street.

A Bracknell Forest Council report read: “The public WCs at Napier Road, Crowthorne have been requested to be demolished following discussions with members and the parish council unwilling to take on the full servicing and maintenance for the building.

“There is potential for the space to be utilised as additional parking bays with an opportunity to provide electric car charging bays within the car park.

Bracknell News:

“Removing the WC will save the council in maintaining the building in the long term and will provide additional space potentially providing additional car parking to the village.

“The Parish Council provides an income for the residents to utilise the building, however, this income has been classed as cost-neutral with between £11,000 to £14,000 being allocated every year to run and maintain the building.”

According to Bracknell Forest Council’s website, these loos are now permanently closed.

The closure of these public toilets means BFC now looks after just two WCs in the borough, at Bracknell bus station on Station Road, and at Birch Hill Neighbourhood Centre (which are currently closed due to ongoing repair issues.)

In Crowthorne, alternate toilet facilities are available next to the toddler play area at Morgan Recreation Ground on Lower Broadmoor Road, which are run by Crowthorne Parish Council.

This plan has been earmarked as a future project as outlined in BFC’s draft capital budget proposals, which are set for consultation and approval in the coming weeks and months.
