The public conveniences situated at Cheapside, Shildon have been closed for 3 years due to the pandemic and the facility not being fit for purpose due to continued vandalism and anti-social behaviour which posed a risk to public health arising from the misuse by users within the building.
Taking this into account and the financial implications, the Town Council have reluctantly taken the decision to demolish this building and make the area of land presentable to the community.
Public toilet facilities are still available at the Rest House, Central Parade, Shildon.
