Northleach with Eastington Town Council and the Northleach and District Branch of the Royal British Legion would like to invite the community to join with them to mark Remembrance Day on Sunday 9th November.

Please gather at 10:45am for the traditional open air service at the War Memorial on the Market Place.

Have Your Say On The Future Of Northleach Public Toilets

Posted on By Town Clerk

Northleach with Eastington Town Council is seeking your views on the future of the public toilets in Northleach Market Place. At the moment Cotswold District Council runs the toilets and they have told us they cannot afford to keep them free to use.

There are two options for the future:

  • Option A – The district council continues to operate the toilets but starts charging 40p per visit. Access to toilets is essential for public health, wellbeing and dignity. Even a small charge could inconvenience residents and visitors. This could make the town feel less welcoming and reduce trade for local businesses. It is not clear whether the public toilets will stay open after April 2028, when the new unitary authority takes over services from the district council.
  • Option B – The town council takes over the toilets and keeps them free to use. This would be paid for from the town council’s budget. Based on this year’s figures, running the toilets would cost Northleach residents around £15 per Band D household per year. The Town Council would need to decide how to fund this, which could mean an increase in your council tax.

We would like to know which option you prefer, and how important you think it is to keep the toilets free at the point of use.

The survey is open until 11:59pm on Sunday 12 October 2025.

Take the survey

Paper copies of the survey are available from the Westwoods Centre.

For help completing the survey, call 01451 885349 or email clerk@northleach.gov.uk.

Thank you for completing this survey. All responses will be carefully considered when the Town Council makes its decision about the future of the public toilets. Residents are warmly invited to the decision-making meeting on Weds 12 November, 7pm at The Westwoods Centre.

Keeping your data safe: Participation in this survey is optional. Responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide personal details. Data will be handled lawfully and in accordance with our privacy policy.
