Join Friends of Eastbourne Seafront campaign.

This petition is to object to the closure of Eastbourne seafront public  toilets,  and the decision to no longer repair and re open badly vandalised toilets in Eastbourne. 

​

Eastbourne Borough Council want to replace our public toilets with a Community Toilet Scheme to save money.
This will affect everyone who needs to use a toilet on the seafront, particularly the elderly, those with children, those with medical needs and the disabled. We have a high number of homeless people who need to use the toilets. It is not a statutory duty for the Council to provide public toilets but it is an essential service no one can do without. 

​

Businesses will be asked to open their facilities to the general public or take over the public toilets . This will not work on the seafront as there are so few businesses with a toilet. To leave the seafront with one or no toilet is going to cause distress , limit the activities of people who want to walk, cause sanitary problems along the promenade and on the beach. 

Not repairing badly damaged toilets means the Council is closing them all down by default. 
Please sign this petition so that Eastbourne Borough Council will know the strength of feeling and consequences of closing our toilets.
