Newquay’s Esplanade toilets to close for a morning this month

Heading down to the Esplanade for a walk later this month? You might want to plan your pit stop as well.

Newquay Town Council is installing smart meters at a small number of public toilets in Newquay this month. Most of the work will take place before the facilities open, so at most sites people may not notice anything at all.

The Esplanade toilets are the exception. They will be temporarily closed while the installation is carried out.

When the work is planned

The council has given these approximate installation windows:

• Chester Road Toilets: Wednesday 11 November, 8am to 10am
• Narrowcliff (Barrowfields) Toilets: Tuesday 24 November, 9am to 10am
• Esplanade Toilets: Tuesday 24 November, 10am to 12pm

Chester Road was first on the list, with its slot this morning. The other two sites follow on the same day later in the month, with the Esplanade work starting straight after Narrowcliff.

Could opening be delayed?

Possibly, but only briefly. The council said there may be a short delay to opening if the work is still underway when a site is due to open.

Any disruption is expected to be minimal, and the council has thanked people for their patience while the improvements are carried out.
