Flushed with success as playground bathrooms get modern makeover

28 Dec 2022

A community playground bathroom in Croft, Warrington has been given a much-needed facelift thanks to teams from Sapphire Utility Solutions and United Utilities.

The old toilet block in the busy Croft Park was built 50 years ago and had been closed since 2017 due to deterioration from old age and vandalism.

After Croft Parish Council got the toilets back in working order earlier this year, United Utilities and Sapphire stepped in to introduce improvements including new exterior doors and locks, sanitary bins, nappy changing facilities, hygiene bins as well as an improved entrance that is safe and accessible to all users.

A grand opening was held to celebrate the re-opening with Councillor Paul Campbell cutting the ribbon to declare the facility open.

Sammy Nelson, Programme Delivery Manager for United Utilities, said: “We always endeavour to work with the local communities to enhance the facilities within our community projects across the Northwest. Sapphire Utility Solutions are always willing to assist us to enhance communities for the benefit and delight for our customers. Thanks to teams from United Utilities and Sapphire Utility Solutions.”

Phil Moat, Project Manager from Sapphire Utility Solutions, added:  “It is always a pleasure to help and carryout this type of work with United Utilities, great team ethic as always.”
