  • Flexible provision, which can readily cope with fluctuating levels in the demand experienced in particular locations throughout the year.
  • Facilities capable of sustaining peak demand periods.
  • Toilet facilities with both different payment options – currently the entry system is coin operated, but the Council are also keen to explore contactless payment options.
