The toilets have now been closed.

West Lindsey, which operates the public toilets, is looking into additional measures to improve the safety of the staff and once these are in place they will reopen the toilets.

Town Mayor and West Lindsey Councillor Stephen Bunney said: “It is very sad that the behaviour of just four individuals can result in such a measure and can deprive everyone of such important facilities.”.
