Toilet block designs on display at library
Final designs showing how Bloxwich's public toilets will look following an overhaul have been released.
The designs, drawn up by Walsall Council following consultation with residents, are on display in the town's library.
Residents are set to see the existing toilet block in High Street demolished and rebuilt. The revamped block will include baby changing and disabled facilities, and will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The toilets sparked controversy earlier this year when those living and working in the area objected to plans to demolish them without replacement, in a different consultation over a planned red route along the A34 including Bloxwich High Street.
The overhaul of the toilets will tie in with a range of improvements being made as part of the Red Route and Bus Showcase schemes, to Bloxwich High Street and roads nearby.
Councillor Adrian Andrew, Walsall Council cabinet member for regeneration, said: "There are a lot of proposals on the drawing board for Bloxwich and this is just one of the many regeneration projects we have planned.
"Concerns raised by residents, which have now been addressed, included a lack of baby changing facilities in Bloxwich and the condition of the disabled toilets.
"These will now be fitted with a lock and key system which can only be opened by people registered as disabled."
