Public Conveniences
Public Toilets: Locations and Information
The public conveniences across the Island were originally run by the Isle of Wight Council. In recent years, in order to save money, the Isle of Wight Council approached Town and Parish Councils to request that they take on the facilities in their areas. To avoid closure of the facilities the Parish Council took over three public conveniences in Lake: Lake Cliff Gardens (Skew Bridge), New Road, Lake Slipway.
The facilities were not in good condition when they were taken on and the town council is currently undertaking a program of major capital investment to reprovision at the sites for which it is responsible.

Other information
The facilities are thought to be in place since the 1950’s, originally designed and located to accommodate large numbers of visitors travelling by coach and stopping in Lake. Changes to Sandown Road mean coaches can no longer stop near the toilets and visitor numbers have significantly decreased. There were ongoing issues with vandalism at the site prior to its closure.
In 2021, the parish council made the decision to re-provision the facilities. The contract for the works was awarded to Danfo (UK) Ltd.
