Major refurbishments to public toilets in a Suffolk town centre are set to commence.
Calls have been made to upgrade facilities in Gaol Lane, Sudbury for a number of years, with one person branding them an "absolute disgrace".
However, work to give the toilets a face lift will now begin on Wednesday.
Work is expected to take just over four weeks to complete, with two unisex and one disabled temporary toilet will be available throughout the build.
The building will see new sinks, toilets, flooring, tiles and upgrades to the outside of the building installed.
Over £50,000 has been committed to the project by Babergh District Council.
The work forms part of wider plans to improve public toilets across the town - with funding also progressing for new toilets at Belle Vue Park.
Councillor Daniel Potter, cabinet member for environment at Babergh District Council, said: “Upgrading the toilets at Gaol Lane has been something both we and Sudbury Town Council have been wanting to do for several years – so it’s great to see our plans finally able to come to fruition.
“These facilities are now showing their age – so bringing them up to date will play a key role in the regeneration of the town centre.”
Ciaran Griffin, town clerk at Sudbury Town Council, said: “We’ve been working alongside Babergh District Council over several years to plan the upgrade of these well-used toilets in our town.
“It’s great we’re now in a position to realise those plans, and I very much look forward to seeing them when finished.”
The number and type of toilets will remain the same as currently after works are completed.
