Work to refurbish public toilet facilities in Whitehead, Co Antrim is now complete.

The new block is based at Castleview Pavilion and includes provision for those with disabilities, as well as baby-changing facilities.

The previous facility was closed due to the deterioration of the building, antisocial behaviour and vandalism.

Elected members and community representatives gathered for the official opening of the toilet block on Monday, 03 September.

Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Councillor Lindsay Millar, said: "I am delighted to have officially opened the new block in Whitehead.

"Whitehead is a stunningly beautiful area and it's no surprise that more and more people are travelling from across Northern Ireland and much further afield to explore and enjoy it.

"Indeed, we are welcoming record numbers of tourists to the world famous Causeway Coastal Route, of which Whitehead is a must-visit.

"It is therefore vital our facilities are up to a good standard and that we have all the necessary provisions in place for visitors and residents."
