Blue Anchor Community Toilets

We are delighted to confirm the completion of our latest project - to repair and improve the drains at the rear of the building. The existing drain covers had deteriorated significantly since they were installed in 1964. All drains are now in good order and the unfinished rubble surface has been concreted. This work now gives easier, and safer, access for maintenance and we have future-proofed the site.
Our thanks go to the National Lottery for grant funding the work, and C J Lynch & Sons for doing a fantastic job for us.

We are delighted to announce we have undertaken a further service upgrade for men who require sanitary protection but are not holders of a RADAR key for the accessible toilet.
There is now a dedicated cubicle in the Gents that contains a sanitary disposal bin. It is denoted by this notice on the cubicle door.
The service allows discreet and hygienic disposal of male sanitary items.

Following requests from visitors we have installed the first dog lead tie ring for dogs awaiting the return of their owners as they use the facilities.
We may soon need to engage our own guard dog as we are experiencing the frequent theft of toilet rolls from our cubicles....
Our CCTV is also being reviewed to identify the culprits....

We are in the process of upgrading our accessible toilet to make it stoma friendly.
There has been a national campaign on the issue and we are pleased to enhance our facilities for the benefit of our community and visitors.

DESPITE a surprise three-year grant of £18,000 from Old Cleeve Parish Council, the community-run Blue Anchor toilets still need users to voluntarily pay at least 35p each to ensure the facility’s long term survival.
