Developers who build in Preston will be expected to spend a penny to help end the city's public toilet shortage.
In the past two years improvements have been made to the bus station and market toilets.

But the city is still in desperate need of more public conveniences.

The next stage of improvements will be the installation of toilets in the Fishergate, Ring Way and University areas later this year.

Coun Mike Onyon, chairman of the council's city business review panel, said: "We want to encourage companies to provide public toilets.

"Long-term it could even become part of planning permission. The city centre could always do with more public conveniences. One of the things we have got is an ageing population.

"As people get older and they come into town, there will be a greater need for them."

"The city centre could always do with more public conveniences."
So why did your council spend tens of thousands doing up the bus station bogs while simultaneously planning to tear them down? I mean, I know it's only OUR money, so you've no problem squandering it, but wouldn't it have been wiser to put it into facilities elsewhere?

public toilets are a magnet for all the dirty perverted deviants with no morals. my house is close to one such,and i have had to chase more than one such type away while my children are on the front playing.close the lot of them or install CCTV outside them to discourage this perverted practice.

We also need more 'Changing Places' toilets for people with profound disabilities. These are a higher spec than the average accessible toilet, and enable a layer of people with more severe disabilities, and their families and carers to come into town along with everybody else, and spend significant amounts of time there.
