Two local businesses have joined forces to renovate the Stonehaven’s public toilets just in time for the summer.
The Bay Fish and Chips and Aunty Betty’s have worked alongside the council to revive the public toilets on the seafront before the tourism surge, giving the area all the ingredients for a successful summer.
Calum Richardson, owner of The Bay, said: “For a long time now I’ve been desperate to get behind the revival of the Stonehaven beach toilets as I can see first-hand what an important facility it is to have in our tourist hotspot.
“I’m thrilled to be working alongside the team at Aunty Betty’s on this project. I really believe the opportunities are endless and I can’t wait to get to work on it.
“But right now, our main priority is to get the toilets functional and open ready for everyone visiting Stonehaven this summer.”
Nicci Dollar, manager of Aunty Betty’s, said: “Stonehaven seafront has everything you need for a brilliant family day out – beautiful beaches, fantastic food and drink and with a bit of luck some sunshine too.
“Now we have the opportunity to offer a toilet facility to tourists and locals alike, Stonehaven seafront is the perfect package.
“Now we may not be able to guarantee constant sunshine, but we can guarantee easy access to everything else and one thing we know for sure is that the beach toilets will bring a much-relieved smile for many Stonehaven beach-goers this summer.”
The beach toilets are currently getting renovated and will be open and ready for use in two weeks time.
