Newmarket Town Council has had to make the unfortunate decision to close the public conveniences in the High Street next to the Memorial Hall as the Victorian pipework has partially collapsed due to prolonged misuse and the toilets are no longer fit for purpose.
We understand that this is not an ideal situation, but the decision to close for the time being has been forced upon us by circumstances.
Whilst the provision of public conveniences is a power of Town and Parish Councils, not a duty to provide, the Town Council is looking at options for refurbishment or provision of alternative facilities; however this is likely to be extremely costly and there is no budget for this currently.
In the meantime we will be providing temporary toilets for our event days in the Memorial Hall Gardens
