whole. (see below).
This is one ofthe only free		 24
hour public conveniences
in Pangboume
and surrounding
areas that provides year
round facilities. Our users cross all
demographics.
The facilities are particularly
valued
by workmen/women
who do not have
access to other facilities during their working
hours.
The facilities are checked each week by a
rota ofvolunteers.
This is a requirement		 of
our Building and Public Liability insurance to
ensure that issues are identified
and dealt
with
in a timely manner.
Minor maintenance
has been carried out by Trust volunteers.
This has included,
fixing sticking doors,
replacing
failed lights, replacing
faulty usage
counters,
replacing
damaged
donation
boxes and maintaining
shrubbery
beds
adjacent tothe facility.
Such work not only
ensures that the facilities are maintained to
an acceptable standard,
but also reduces
costs for the Trust.
The usage counters show that the facilities
have been used over 26,000 during the year.
Our voluntary
donation
boxes are receiving
around F12per week (8620 per year).
Both
these show that the facilities are really
valued
by the local community.
The Trust set itself atarget to raise a
minimum
ofF12,500to ensure
it had
sufficient funds to cover the running
costs for
the following
year before committing
to a
further 12month
cleaning contract.
This
was achieved.
It was always the Trust's intention
to build up
a surplus offunds each year (over and
above the running
costs) to fund a
refurbishment/modemisation
ofthe facilities.
A full upgrade
ofthe Disabled toilet was
completed
in 2020 and the full modernisation
ofthe Ladies was completed
in 2022.
The latter project encountered
many
challenges
due to shortage ofsupplies
and
rising costs. This required
close monitoring
and many hours work from the Trustees
Buildings Team to ensure the project was
delivered
in full.
We have received very positive feedback
from our users following
the refurbishments
of both the Ladies and Disabled toilets.
