A new toilet block which cost more than £140,000 to rebuild has already been hit by vandals.

Barton’s Point Coastal Park, a 40-acre park between Minster and Sheerness on Sheppey, was fitted with six new blocks back in July.

Visitors were without a toilet block after the previous facilities were knocked down last year.

The work cost Swale council £140,703.

Now, yobs have already caused three to temporarily shut. A number of other toilets were also vandalised across the Island.

A padlock at The White House public toilets in Minster was also broken.

Meanwhile a door was broken in a block at Minster Leas.

A spokesman for Swale council said: "We are incredibly disappointed that individuals would vandalise the public toilets around the borough, especially the newly-added toilet blocks.

"They are an important part of our leisure infrastructure and a great asset to the community.

"Our officers worked hard to get the toilets back to working order and open again - any outstanding repairs are only minor.

"However, one toilet cubicle in Minster Leas is still closed due to a lock issue but repairs are being made and it will be open soon."
