Stalham toilets vandalised

Date published: 24th January 2025

We are very disappointed to share that the public conveniences on the High Street in Stalham have been subjected to two instances of vandalism recently. A cistern has been smashed and pipes have been ripped off the walls.

The toilets will remain closed until this can be repaired, with an estimated cost of around £1000 to achieve this.

The vandalism has been reported to the police, who are investigating the incident.

Sadly, this is not the first instance where public toilets have been damaged in this manner, and we would like to remind residents and visitors to use these facilities responsibly and to report any incidents or inappropriate use to the police.

The vandalism of public facilities like toilets results in their closure or disruption while the Council repairs them, which comes at a considerable cost and inconvenience to the public.

Cllr Tim Adams, Leader of North Norfolk District Council, commented: “Incidents such as this come at significant cost to North Norfolk residents, and we would urge those responsible to think about that. If anyone has information in respect of the vandalism, please report to the police.”

Closure of public facilities such as accessible toilets deprives residents and visitors of essential accessible services while they are in North Norfolk towns.
