Council condemns vandalism of public toilets

High Peak Borough Council is appealing for anyone with information about the recent suspected arson attack on the public toilets at Market Street in Whaley Bridge to contact the Police.

The toilets are currently closed whilst repairs are carried out following the deliberate vandalism.

 Councillor Damien Greenhalgh, Deputy Leader and Executive Councillor for Regeneration, Tourism and Leisure, said: “Vandalism of public amenities like toilets has serious consequences – costly repairs have to be funded from the public purse and it takes public services out of action for days or weeks at a time.

 “This is down to the mindless actions of a few but it costs the wider community and we cannot tolerate anti-social behaviour of this nature. So we’re appealing to anyone who might have any information about this latest incident in Whaley Bridge to contact the Police.”

 Anyone with any information can contact the Police via their website or call 101.
