A request has been made to the Department of Infrastructure that ownership of the public toilets by Thirtle bridge be handed over to Castletown Commissioners.
Commissioner Colin Leather raised the matter and said if they have to close the public toilets by the civic centre for refurbishment at any point, the town will have no public toilets at all as the facilities by the Thirtle bridge are earmarked for closure at the end of this year.
Kevin Weir said: ‘The toilets cost us £10,000 a year, they are not ours. We should be asking if they could be handed over to us.
‘If we cannot have them as our property we should not be maintaining them.’
Andrew Thomas proposed they contact the department about taking ownership.
