Toilets at Black Rock


Toilets at Black Rock
The Issue
We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to urgently ensure there are appropriate and accessible toilet facilities at Black Rock where Volks Railway's station is whilst we wait for Southern Water to upgrade the building.
Despite asking BHCC to ensure that there are sufficient toilet facilities at Black Rock, there are still none.
Southern Water are in the process of upgrading the Black Rock building, with Volks Railway open with tourists ending / starting their journey there.
The Sea Lanes to Marina area of Black Rock is getting busier every week, however there is a severe lack of accessible toilets in the area for residents and visitors alike, with coaches often unloading their passengers around that area.
The local businesses are suffering as visitors demand use of their facilities, which are often not suitable for the numbers required, as well as those who are sleeping in vans along the seafront using these facilities for cleaning themselves in the morning.
We demand that BHCC sort out this situation as a matter or urgency and ensure temporary toilets are located in the Black Rock Volks Railway area suitable for all.
