27 September 2019 update - Plans approved

We expect site works to begin late 2019/early 2020, with the existing toilets remaining in use. The new toilets are planned to be in place by the end of autumn 2020.

What we are doing and why
We’re proposing to replace the existing Cass Bay toilets with a new, fully accessible toilet block that can also function as changing rooms. The current toilet block, located beside the playground, has a urinal, a men's cubicle and two women’s cubicles, but it’s not fully accessible and has ongoing maintenance issues.
Cass Bay is becoming an increasingly popular place to visit, and we need to make sure that the toilets can keep up with current and future demands.
We’d like your feedback on the two layout and location options for the new toilet block.
