A reader inquired why the public conveniences had been shut by Rother District Council (RDC) and the answer is that thieves were stealing (or trying to steal) the toilet rolls perhaps stimulated by the panic buying of loo rolls from the supermarkets.
RDC said “public toilets are closed until further notice in light of government advice. We have experienced a high level of vandalism with people attempting to steal toilet rolls, meaning we can no longer manage the facilities effectively or hygienically.
“Apologies for any inconvenience”.

When does the Road open on the hill to Peasmarsh please!???
Wrong place to post this question Jill, but it is open now.
Now that there are ample supplies of toilet rolls perhaps Rye News could suggest to RDC that the public toilets are now reopened. This would give some peace of mind and reassurance to the more mature members of our town that if they needed a “comfort break” on their daily allocated exercise period this would be available. As a result they might be able to walk that bit further with the resulting benefit to their physical and mental health.
