Information about public toilet facilities in Thanet
Temporary toilet closures during second national lockdown (update 10 November 2020)
We have closed 10 of the 20 toilets normally open during the winter months. This is in response to increased Covid-19 infection rates and the current National Lockdown.
The 10 toilets that remain open have been selected to ensure that each area of the district has at least one facility open for customers of essential businesses and those who are exercising. The closure also allows the remaining toilets to be cleaned more frequently – 4 times a day – to help minimise the transmission of the virus.
The following toilets will continue to open daily and will receive additional cleaning (4 times per day). Disabled facilities accessible with a RADAR key are available at each of these locations.
MINNIS BAY CAR PARK – Birchington 08:00 – 17:00
WEST BAY – Westgate 08:00 – 17:30
BUENOS AYRES – Margate 08:00 – 16:30

BROADSTAIRS HARBOUR- Broadstairs 08:00 – 16:55
