St Eval Parish Council is upgrading the public toilets at Porthcothan Bay to make them more environmentally and financially sustainable, while improving the quality of amenities for both residents and visitors.
The project includes:
- Installation of solar panels to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
- Implementation of a rainwater harvesting system to conserve mains water by using collected rainwater for flushing.
- Replacement of coin-operated doors with a modern contactless payment system to improve user convenience, reduce maintenance, and generate income for ongoing upkeep.
These upgrades will help protect the natural beauty of Porthcothan Bay while supporting eco-friendly tourism and ensuring the long-term preservation of this essential public facility. The improvements reflect the Parish Council’s commitment to maintaining high-quality local infrastructure and promoting sustainability across the community.
