The three permanent 'pissoirs' are installed in Newquay to overcome problems of street urination. This follows a trial of three portable 'pissoirs' in an effort to ease anti-social behaviour in the centre of Newquay at night which was very successful and as a result, Restormel Borough Council has installed three permanent pissoirs called 'Urilifts'.
Councillor Anne Boosey, Cabinet Member for the Environment
"The night time economy is very important to Newquay, Restormel and indeed the whole of the tourism economy of Cornwall. Whilst there have been problems in the past we are working with our partners, the Town Council, the Police, the Health Service, other emergency services and the County Council, to make Newquay a first rate town for all of our visitors, both young and mature. This is the first of three permanent pissiors to be installed in Newquay and follows on from the successful temporary site experiments over the past 12 months or so. It demonstrates our commitment to Newquay and to boosting the local economy in any way that we can."
Tony Pope, Head of Waste and Parks for Restormel BC,
“Newquay is not only a popular holiday resort, but has become a favourite destination for “stag” and “hen” weekends. This has exacerbated the growing problem of late-night drinking and urinating in the streets, which was not helped by our having to close existing public toilets because of vandalism. “We researched the problem in detail and, following the pilot scheme, we are confident that the three Urilifts, which will be strategically located in the area where most of the pubs and clubs are located, will provide a permanent solution to the problem in time for the holiday season.”
