City Council rubbish rumours Market Place toilets are to close

Salisbury City Council have made it clear that there is no plan to close the underground toilets in the Market Place.

However, there are plans to improve the toilets in terms of appearance and the service they provide.

The speculation came after a member of the public wrote to the Salisbury Journal saying, “The council was going to do away with the downstairs toilet facilities and her into the bargain. I said I thought this would be a crying shame.”

The post prompted response and speculation on social media.

Salisbury City Council said in a short statement, “Salisbury City Council has no intention to close the public toilets in the Market Place despite current rumours. 

“The Administration leaders are currently looking at ways that the cleanliness and service can be improved, and when the budget to refurbish these facilities is found, any changes will be subject to public consultation.”
