Newquay Town Council’s Facilities Team work hard all year round, seven days a week, to keep our public facilities clean and welcoming. They check and clean 13 sites across Newquay up to four times a day. Thank you to the team for everything you do for Newquay!

The team also look after maintenance, health and safety, energy management and long‑term improvements to Council‑owned facilities, helping to keep our public spaces safe, accessible and well cared for!

The public toilets at Little Fistral are temporarily closed due to unforeseen maintenance issues and continued inappropriate use of the facilities. This misuse is not only preventing the wider community from accessing them but is also resulting in additional costs to the public purse.

We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible and apologise for any inconvenience caused. We will provide an update as soon as they are ready to reopen.

Thank you for your understanding.
