Sorry to leap frog Hugo, The Pioneer has just released this article............
Concerns have been raised that a decision to temporarily close public toilets on Rhos on Sea promenade will affect summer trade.
Conwy Council has confirmed the public conveniences in the resort's Combermere Gardens, will close in the next few days for eight weeks while essential work takes place.
They will be replaced by temporary facilities.
Business owners have expressed their concerns that the closure of the facilities will deter tourists who flock to the resort during the summer months.
Sharon Williams, manager of La Reina cafe said: "It's ridiculous to close the toilets now. Why didn't they do the work in the winter, when Rhos is like a ghost town?
"It makes no sense to me.
"And what about disabled people? Will they be able to use the temporary toilets? If not, what are they supposed to do?
“This news has not gone down well with the businesses around here.”
Ceri Jones from Marmalade's cafe, said: "It's a quite worrying that the toilets are closing just as it's getting into busy season.
"There are no other public toilets for miles as far as I know. I hope it doesn't put people off but I think it definitely could.
"It will be awful if it has a negative impact on businesses here, we don't want visitors being forced to go elsewhere because there are no decent public conveniences."
A spokesman for Conwy Council said: "The public convenience at Combermere Gardens, Rhos-on-Sea, will close in the next few days for essential work to take place; temporary facilities will be provided whilst the work takes place.
"The work was scheduled to start today (June 6) but due to unforeseen circumstances the temporary facilities could not be delivered, therefore the public convenience will remain open until the temporary facilities arrive on site."
