Charge plan as Ludlow council takes on town toilets

People will have to pay to use public toilets in Ludlow as part of a deal to save them from closure.

Ludlow Town Council unanimously agreed to take over the running of toilets on the Smithfield and Castle Street car parks at a private meeting last night.

The move came just days before the toilets were due to be closed as part of Shropshire Council cost-cutting measures.

Now town council chiefs are looking at quotes to install door closers and coin boxes. A 20p charge may be levelled.
