From 4 September, some of our public toilets will close.

Funding for public toilets has been reduced in the Council budget this year, as a cost saving.

There will be 21 public toilets staying open, some on a seasonal basis.

Public toilets in 19 Council buildings will also be available to use, as well as toilets in businesses signed up to our community toilet scheme.

There will be more than 40 public toilets available for use.

Closing toilets is a difficult decision for us to make. We have considered how much facilities get used, where there are other toilets available, and how often facilities are vandalised.

We took part in the Great Orme goat welfare check round-up last week, along with volunteers and partner organisations, including the Animal and Plant Health Agency

🐐 25 nannies were vaccinated with the birth control hormone

Some goats have been relocated to conservation projects:

🐐 15 nannies to Whipsnade Conservation Zoo, for conservation grazing

🐐 2 nannies to an Anglesey grazing project

🐐 4 nannies and 2 billies to Bournemouth cliffs with Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council

✅ There are approximately 150 goats in the Great Orme herd, with 41 kids.

The Council has worked with other organisations since 2001 to manage the herd numbers by giving contraception and relocating some goats. This is for their welfare, and also protects the species from being wiped out in case of a disease outbreak.
