Agenda item

a.  Departmental Report;

Members received and reviewed the Service Delivery Department report as contained within the circulated reports pack.

The Service Delivery Manager provided an overview of the report, outlining the department’s recent works.

Members discussed Longstone Public Conveniences opening hours and vandalism being experienced and the possibility of closing Longstone Toilets earlier but raised strong concerns due to community reliance during those hours.

Members felt changes could discourage use of Longstone Park and cause confusion, given the widely advertised opening times.

The Service Delivery Manager confirmed Cornwall Council will cut back surrounding shrubbery within 28 days which it was hoped would improve visibility and deter vandalism.

Members suggested that redesigning the entrance to create a more open layout could help deter vandalism.

It was proposed by Councillor Bickford, seconded by Councillor Brady and RESOLVED:

1.  To note the report received from the SD Department;

2.  For Longstone Toilets to remain open as previously agreed - 8:30am to 7:00pm - 1st April to 30th September, delegating to the Services Delivery Manager to review the entrance design to the toilets, reporting back to the Property Maintenance Sub Committee.
