Free public toilets could soon become a thing of the past in Weymouth. Town councillors have backed a multi-year refurbishment programme that will see the town's public loos upgraded to a modern standard. However, the plan will introduce card-only payment doors to help cover running costs and deter vandals. Critics have raised concerns about the impact the cashless move will have on vulnerable groups and rough sleepers.
