You may soon have to be more sensible about how much you drink during a day out in Gravesend as several public toilets in the town centre are facing the axe.

Government cuts mean that Gravesham council needs to find savings of £10,000 per working day by 2019, and cabinet members will next week consider proposals to flush £76,000 from its amenities budget.

Loos in Clive Road, which are in a convenient spot for commuters heading out of Gravesend railway station and visitors to Thamesgate Shopping Centre, and Parrock Street have both been earmarked for closure at a combined saving of almost £40,000.

The Clive Road toilets are leased by the council from the shopping centre and more than £7,000 was spent in 2016 to repair cubicles and replace fittings due to vandalism. Drug use and sexual activity is also a common problem.

The new toilets in the recently re-opened Gravesend Borough Market would become the only council-run public toilets available in the town centre, other than those in the civic centre.

Outside of town, the council will look to save more than £13,600 by closing toilets in Perry Street, Northfleet, another £9,000 by shutting those in Meopham Green, and just over £8,600 by getting rid of loos in The Street, Cobham.

Public toilets to be retained by the council, besides those in the new market, are in Gordon Promenade, Fort Gardens, Windmill Gardens, Woodlands Park, and Camer Park in Meopham.

Gravesham council's cabinet members have already agreed to cuts worth more than £500,000, including the shuttering of tourism hub Towncentric and plans to hugely scale back some of the borough's most popular events, including at Christmas.

Cabinet members will meet on Monday night to make a decision on the public toilets and will also consider how they can save money on parking, which may result in an increase in charges.

Proposals to save more money on revenues and benefits, planning, regeneration, customer and theatre services, and the council’s maintenance and repairs workforce, will all be considered at a later date.

The council’s government support grants, which will be halved from £1.2 million next year, will be completely halted in April 2019.
