New loos for West Hoe

The new public toilets on West Hoe are now open for business.

The new toilets have eight unisex cubicles and two accessible toilets, and have a render finish with Plymouth limestone finish to the north and south facade.

These toilets are in the same style as the toilets on the Barbican and are able to be automatically scheduled to open and close to avoid antisocial behaviour.

The new loos also have card readers to allow you to spend a penny even without spare change.

The West Hoe toilets were demolished last year as they were very dated with tired fixtures and fittings, as well as having entrances obscured from public view that encouraged anti-social behaviour. 

Councillor Mark Lowry, Cabinet member for Finance said: “Making improvements to our toilets all across the waterfront is fantastic for not just visitors, but residents of this area and across Plymouth.

“We have all cherished our green and blue spaces over the last few months, we are so lucky to live in such beautiful place.

“Accessible and family-friendly facilities means more people will be able to enjoy this part of the city, I am delighted that we are able to provide brand new loos in West Hoe.”
