Stainless steel turnstiles help prevent vandalism in council run toilets

Toilets in Hazel Grove, Marple, Cheadle, Edgeley, Mellor and Woodley in the Stockport area would make ideal business premises. Stockport Council’s executive member for regeneration Kevin Hogg explained that the buildings had been “tried as public toilets, but they just get vandalised”. He said: “We have a community toilet scheme, where local businesses open up their facilities for the public to use,” adding: “We have five in Hazel Grove, for example, in place of one public toilet.”

Time and Attendance North West can provide Coin Operated Turnstiles to solve the problem of public toilets getting vandalised for local authorities. Public conveniences with these graded stainless steel turnstiles have the added benefit of preventing people from wandering into the council run toilets as they now have to pay for the privilege. The turnstile bodies have lockable lids to prevent unwanted access and are securely mounted to the floor plate. The separate coin box can be mounted in a variety of positions.
