People will be able to use new public toilets proposed for Trowbridge Town Park for free, the town council has confirmed.
Trowbridge Town Council councillors hope the toilets will be open by the summer after submitting a planning application for a new toilet block to Wiltshire Council.
The toilet's are expected to be located next to the kiosk in the avenue of trees alongside the fence near the crazy golf course, with access from the existing pathway.
Trowbridge mayor Cllr Stephen Cooper said: “The park has been without toilet facilities for around five years, and I am very pleased that the Town Park Working Group has found a solution that is high-quality and affordable.”

It will have three stalls, one of which will have disabled access, baby changing facilities, and a cleaner’s store. It will also feature anti-vandal stainless steel solid surfaces.
The expected cost is around £90,000 for the block, plus around £35,000 in planning and groundwork costs.
The unit's doors will incorporate a card payment system but Cllr Cooper said the initial plan is for free access, with the payment system intended to be a back-up in case it becomes necessary to restrict access at any time.
