New public toilet facilities have been installed on Christ Church Green, with work set to be completed by 20 March.
“This was not a refurbishment of the existing block but a full replacement with modern, unisex integrated WC cubicles… The design removes all communal areas, meaning only individual cubicles can be accessed. This significantly reduces opportunities for crime and the fear of crime, while providing durable, anti‑vandal features,” said a Redbridge Council spokesperson.
Manufactured in Sweden, the new facilities cost £160k to procure and install.
Cllr Kam Rai, Leader of Redbridge Council, said: “Our parks are some of the most valued spaces in the borough, and it’s important that the facilities within them are safe, modern and accessible for everyone. By investing in new, high‑quality public toilets, we’re making sure residents and visitors can enjoy our green spaces with confidence. These upgraded units are designed to reduce vandalism, improve safety and provide a much better experience for all who use them. With nine Green Flag Award‑winning parks across the borough, we’re committed to maintaining the highest standards in our open spaces, and these improvements are an important part of that work.”
