Public toilets on Sackville Street now open

The public toilets on Sackville Street in Thrapston were officially opened on Thursday 1st May by Mayor Andy McGovern following a major refurbishment.

The toilets were initially closed back in April 2022, with the public being directed to use the newly-opened toilet inside of the Co-Op store.

Back in summer 2024, Thrapston Town Council councillors agreed for the toilets to be refurbished and reopened, as there was a direct need for these within the community. The refurbishment has taken just over six months and the toilet facilities will be open seven days a week, all year (excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day), from 8am to 6pm.

Mayor Andy McGovern was joined by Councillors Mark Severn and Craig Wilcox.

Andy said: "I am delighted that as a council, we have been able to re-open these much-needed facilities for the community to use. Not only will these benefit those using the High Street for shopping or visiting Thrapston, but also during the Council-organised events through the year including Party in the Park and the Christmas Festival."
