🚾 Update: Town Centre Toilets Project 🚾

At Tuesday evening`s Extraordinary Meeting, Councillors voted to approve the next steps for the improvements to the town centre public toilets.

The public toilets in Greyhound Lane, off the Market Square, we`re built in the 1970s and are in desperate need of updating.

We are working with Wallgate, a nationally-recognised supplier of robust, innovative washrooms, who are based right here in Wilton, and Healthmatic, who design public buildings, to complete this project.

✍️ The final draft layout and scope of works has been approved
📁 Tender information will now be put together, with selection of the construction contractor provisionally scheduled to be agreed in July
🔒 Councillors considered contactless entry, allowing the toilets to be secured overnight. Electrical pre-wiring will be included in the works, in preparation for future discussions on access.

We`re still on track to have the town centre toilets upgraded by Autumn 2026!

👷‍♂️ Invitation to Tender 👷‍♀️

We have published an invitation for contractors to submit a baseline tender for our planned improvements at Castle Meadow.

The improvements will take place in two phases:
1️⃣ Improvements to the compound shared by the Pavilion, Wilton Men`s Shed, Wilton Carnival and our Flood Wardens. These works will include levelling the compound, installing foundations and new storage containers.
2️⃣ Improvements to the car park including new surfacing, accessibility improvements and new lighting. Final design of this phase is still subject to approval by Full Council.

You can find more information, including the Scope of Works and planned layouts for phase 1, on our website:
