The refurbishment of a toilet block in Evesham begins this week.

The Waterside toilet block will be partially demolished before being rebuilt to a “modern standard” with water saving and energy efficient features.

From Monday, November 15, Workman Gardens will be fenced off with demolition commencing the following week.

Councillor Emma Stokes, executive board member for environment and street scene on Wychavon District Council, said: “We know how much our toilets are valued by visitors and residents which is why we continue to invest in them.

“Not only are our loos high quality but they are also kinder to the environment and helping to cut our carbon footprint too.”

Some of the new energy-efficient measures include greywater harvesting tanks that ensure water from sinks is then reused to flush the toilets, which will cut water usage by 80 per cent.

There will also be combined energy-efficient taps and dryers.

Additionally, new changing places will be created, offering specialist facilities for people with disabilities.

The council has already installed energy and water-saving measures in all of its other toilets as well as refurbishing blocks in Broadway and Pershore.

A new block has also been built on Church Walk in Pershore.

Work is expected to be completed by May 2022.
