Scrutiny Considerations

The Committee received a report from the Senior Engineer, Streets and Open Spaces which referred to investigation work undertaken to date on improving the existing City Council provided public toilets located beneath the Silver Street river bridge approach. 

The report proposed that further work should be undertaken on four options in order to inform further consideration, and discussions with planning, conservation and heritage interests.

Draft architectural drawings of the suggested proposals were handed round for the Committee’s information. 

In response to the Committee’s comments the Project Engineer and Senior Engineer, Streets and Open Spaces noted the Committee’s agreement that option 4 should not be further investigated. This related to the proposal of providing new remote provision on Queens Green. 

     i.        The Committee resolved unanimously to endorse further investigation of the options for improving the existing toilets as laid out in the         Officer’s report.

The Executive Councillor approved the amended recommendations.
