Simon said: “I have been contacted by numerous constituents, and Saltdean Residents’ Association, with their concerns about the council’s plans. In particular, local residents who use the bowling green, skate park and children’s play park are worried that they may no longer be able to do so if these facilities are closed.

“The council should be making back room savings and reducing senior officers’ salaries before they even consider making cuts to much-needed frontline services such as these. I hope that they reconsider their decision and keep these toilets open.”
