2.  We do not break down the costs for individual toilets, just have an overall budget for them all.

2023/2024: £101,249
£53,700 budget costs + Vehicles  £5765 (x3 MTA’s  split 50%) = £8647 + Staff £25,935.52 (x3 MTA's split 50%) = £38,902

2024/2025: £96,492
£49,100 budget costs + Vehicles £4620 (x3 MTA’s  split 50%) = £6930 + Staff £26,974.48 (x3 MTA's split 50%) = £40,462

3.  Not held. We do not record the number of users of our public toilets as they are all unmanned. Information that is not held falls under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Information not held.
