They started charging in the public toilets in Betws y Coed - I think they charge 20p. They have a person employed to collect the money. It pays for itself apparently, has reduced vandalism to nil as it has with other activities deemed anti-social. Most of the income comes from out of county by the bus-load. Local Council Tax payers were supportive I believe.

The Welsh Government has a scheme whereby local business' offer toilet facilities to the public. Good idea in principle.
