Councillor Hazel Timpe, the district council’s portfolio holder for neighbourhood services, said: “I’m delighted that residents and visitors to Rye and Pett will now have these facilities available to them throughout the summer months.

“I would like to thank both Rye Town Council and Pett Parish Council for working with us to take on the management of these conveniences during this period.

“In addition, the council is pleased that Bexhill Town Council has taken over all future responsibility and management of Devonshire Square toilets in Bexhill, enabling these facilities to reopen to the public.”

Rother District Council said it made the difficult decision to close some toilets in the district last year due to a large budget shortfall.
