Public toilets have been saved from closure.
The loos, near the Co-op at Cross Hills, near Keighley, have been given a lifeline after letters of support were sent to Glusburn and Cross Hills parish council.
“It seems from letters we have received from local groups that there has been no notification from anyone to say we should shut them so we have resolved to keep them open,” said parish council chairman Coun John Harker.
The parish council took over responsibility for cleaning and maintaining the toilets from Craven District Council in April 2009. It had considered closing them because of the costs.
“They cost £11,000 a year in maintenance, cleaning and rates,” said Coun Harker. “We want to make sure we spend our precept wisely,”
The parish council launched a campaign to ask villagers if they should remain open.
