Swale Borough Council is considering transferring a total of seven toilets to town and parish councils to operate, so they can make sure they remain open to the public. Do you think the Town Council should take over the management of the Central Car Park toilets?
Yes
No

Taking over the toilets would require ongoing funding (cleaning, maintenance, utilities). This will mean an increase in the Town Council precept (the part of council tax that funds local services).

Yes
No
Unsure

If you answered Yes, what level of increase would you consider acceptable?

If you do not support the Town Council taking over the toilets, which of the following best explains why? (tick all that apply)
I do not think public toilets are a priority
I do not support any increase in the precept
I think another organisation should manage them
I think they should close
