We provide public toilets across PվɫÇéƬ and Bute. While this is not something a council has a duty to do, we know that this is a valued service and so want to continue providing it – to help make this possible we will be making a charge at some high-use facilities across the area.
We have introduced a charge of 50p at 9 toilets and you can pay by cash or by card, and we will be introducing the charge at 7 more toilets.

Please note: where some toilets are opened by the same attendant, opening times may be slightly later than advertised as it takes a short time to get round all the facilities.
