Public Toilets. Essential facilities maintained by our community for locals and visitors. Clean, accessible toilets kept open through Parish Council dedication and your generous support.

🚻 A Community Success Story

When Cornwall Council closed public toilets across the county in 2016, our community stepped up. St Goran Parish Council, local businesses, and amazing volunteers joined forces to keep these essential facilities open for everyone who visits and lives in Gorran Haven.

Today, these toilets represent more than just convenience - they're a symbol of community spirit and our commitment to welcoming visitors while supporting local tourism and businesses.

Without proper toilet facilities, our beautiful beaches and village areas would suffer. Nobody wants to see inappropriate waste disposal affecting the natural beauty that makes Gorran Haven special.

Clean facilities mean a clean environment for everyone to enjoy.

Tourism is vital to Gorran Haven's economy. Visitors who can't find proper facilities simply won't stay as long or recommend our village to others.
