REVIEW OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
Issue for Decision
To identify the level of public conveniences provision required to improve Maidstone’s attractiveness and to be a destination of choice for visitors.
Decision Made

conveniences should support the Council’s ambition for Maidstone to be an
attractive place for visitors and residents, and therefore should focus on
areas where provision is currently insufficient;

Maidstone High Street;
(3)
That the Committee agrees that the principle of the Community Toilet
Scheme should be refreshed and reviewed;

in conjunction with the Head of Commercial and Economic Development the
authority to agree new Community Toilet arrangements with businesses in the
Town Centre which have suitable facilities;
(5)
That the Committee agrees to continue the current payments to support
the Parish Councils’ service provision until it can be considered as part of
the review of the Parish Services Scheme; and
(6) That the Committee supports the proposal to explore investment opportunities for new facilities as part of the implementation of a modest Business Improvement District and through the collection of Section 106 contributions.
