About

Torbay Council have invested over £2 million in modernising toilets across Torbay with Healtmatic carrying out the work.

To support the funding of the modernisation work and the increased cleaning regime, a charge to use the toilets has been introduced. Charges are currently set at 30p.

The toilets can be accessed by contactless payments which is in line with national trends for all services to reduce the risk and financial pressures of using coin/cash handling systems. Contactless payments are now internationally recognised as a safe way of payment and this can be done by using your debit/credit card or smartphone.

Torbay Council longer provide any toilets that can be accessed by a Radar Key. They do have a Changing Places toilet, which can be found at Festival Apollo in Paignton - https://www.torbay.gov.uk/leisure-sports-and-community/toilets/festival-apollo-toilets/. The info on this is:

Changing Places Facility – Paignton Seafront

Working closely with Torbay MENCAP and some funding from others including Paignton and Preston Rotary Club we have delivered the first facility of this type on public open space in the South/South West of England.
