More of the city’s public toilets will be open year-round as part of changes to the service.
Brighton and Hove City Council plans to open toilets in Black Rock, Greenleas and Hollingbury Park all year, rather than closing for the winter as they do currently.
The proposal is made possible after a change in shift patterns for the council’s public toilet cleaners.

Councillor Tim Rowkins, chairman of the city environment, South Downs and the sea committee, said: “Although public toilets are not a statutory service, we believe they are essential for our residents and visitors and so we have prioritised keeping them all open.
“The new approach will mean a more reliable service and I am very pleased that three sites that currently close for winter will now be open year-round.
“We are also prioritising popular events like Parkrun to ensure toilets are open for people taking part.”
