CALLINGTON Town Council has expressed frustration after vandalism at the town’s public toilets caused flooding and unnecessary repair costs.

On the evening of Monday, August 11, an excessive amount of toilet paper was reportedly stuffed into a basin before being repeatedly flushed. The blockage led to water overflowing into one of the cubicles, forcing a temporary closure while maintenance teams carried out repairs.

The council described the incident as “entirely unnecessary” and said it reflected “the behaviour of a small minority intent on wasting taxpayers’ money.”

Officials warned such vandalism not only disrupts facilities, but diverts funds away from community services.

The council is urging anyone with information to contact them or local police, stressing the toilets are provided for the benefit of all and should be treated with respect.
