Vandalism has forced Hastings public toilets to close.

A Hastings Borough Council spokesperson said: "Due to vandalism, our West of Haven toilets are currently closed.

"The nearest facilities are at West Marina Gardens."

They added: "Sadly, this follows similar vandalism last week at Pelham Place toilets. Vandalism of public facilities not only causes inconvenience to residents and visitors, but also wastes money that could have been spent on other council services.

"These incidents have been reported to the police. If you have any information that may help, please send us a private message - all information will be treated confidentially.

"We are working to reopen the West of Haven toilets as soon as possible and apologise for any inconvenience caused."
