Public conveniences located in the centre of Redhill will close as of next year, leaving shoppers stranded when in need to spend a penny, a recent news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

 
Plans put forward by Sainsbury’s and Aviva Investors to redevelop the Warwick Quadrant will see the toilets close from January 1. The decision has taken Redhill residents and town centre visitors by surprise, many of them raising their concerns regarding the future of public toilet provision in the area.
 
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, which owns the land and pays Aviva to clean and maintain the toilets, said it was not its decision to shut them.
 
John Reed, the council’s property services manager, said: “Although the land is owned by the council, the toilets were managed by Aviva as part of the Warwick Quadrant development and they were not a council service.
 
“There is no specific requirement in the lease for Aviva to provide toilets or for them to obtain our consent if they wish to close them.”
 
While this decision might have been motivated by the toilet’s pool performance and high maintenance costs, charging a fee for access is the most sensible solution when it comes to their funding, and this is exactly where Toilet Turnstiles could really put its experience to good work.
 
Our toilet turnstiles are built from graded stainless steel, for easier cleaning and maintenance, and also come equipped with lockable lids to prevent unwanted access. Furthermore, the separate coin box offers very versatile mounting options, as it can be installed either in front of the turnstile, at the side or alternatively, on the wall, with the cash box at the rear.
 
The turnstile’s coin mechanism can be programmed for virtually any combination of coins with a secure cash box to hold them, while the additional counters for the number of entries made will enable a thorough level of control over the system’s operation.
