Closure of Public Toilets

​Sorry to see that 14 public toilets are to be kept closed throughout the Borders. The SNP group along with our Green colleague had asked for more details and publication of the rationale behind each individual closure. We fully accept that difficult decisions need to be made, but were looking for a wider discussion. On a positive note an undertaking was made to look at the provision in Burnmouth where there is a particular issue due to the total absence of any facility. In Peebles however the potential damage has been limited by the common good fund potentially stepping in to manage at least one of the affected properties.
