Two toilets in Westgate have suffered hundreds of pounds worth of damage in separate vandalism attacks just days apart.
In the latest incident, excrement was smeared all over the toilets at West Bay on Monday (15 November) and three toilet roll dispensers were ripped off the wall. Toilet paper was then used to block the sinks and toilets. The toilets have now re-opened.
Earlier this month, the council had to pay for repairs to the toilets at Station Road, when 15 tiles were stripped from the roof and graffiti was sprayed. The tiles were all replaced and the graffiti was covered with black anti-climbing paint. Within days, vandals started to pull more tiles off the roof again.
Cllr. Martin Wise, Cabinet Member for Environmental Services, said: “This latest set of vandalism is absolutely appalling. It’s disgusting the levels that some people will sink to. This mindless behaviour has left council taxpayers picking up the bill for hundreds of pounds of repairs and, of course, takes the toilets out of operation while they’re repaired.”
