Blairgowrie & Rattray Public Toilets
PKC have taken the decision to close the Blairgowrie & Rattray Public Toilets on 31 March 2024. BRDT is working with BARBA, BRCC and BEPTA as we are aware of an initial outpour of comments on social media from local people saying the toilets should remain open. On behalf of the community we would like to determine public opinion and the possibility of taking on ownership.
Financially unsustainable to continue as they are
The decision to close the toilets is a clear indication that the public toilets cannot operate sustainably as they currently operate. Any future operating model may well rely on being community led and run by volunteers.
Therefore we have created this survey to find out if there is a desire to keep the toilets open and if there is the capacity within the community to do so. We are also looking at the options of financial sponsorship and donations.
