Disabled toilets for Umina?

Gosford Council is looking into an alternative location for a disabled toilet at Umina Library, according to director of community services and organisation development Mr Terry Thirwell.

The Umina Library public toilets have been closed due to nearby construction work and a temporary toilet facility opened in its place.

In a question without notice at council's meeting on February 2, Cr Terri Latella asked Mr Thirlwell, as a matter of urgency, to install a disabled toilet at the site.

Mr Thirlwell said council staff were aware of the issue and were currently looking at the various options that were available.

"We cannot put a disabled toilet in the current temporary toilets because there is no space.

"Repair work on the library toilets will commence within the next two months.

"However, in the meantime, we are looking for an alternative location for the disabled toilet."
