SHOPPERS will no longer have to worry about getting caught short when public toilets and baby changing facilities are opened at Victoria Plaza.

The centre will have a state-of-the-art facility, featuring 18 ladies' toilets, five men's cubicles and nine urinals.

There will also be four disabled toilets, three baby changing rooms and a special baby feeding room.

Shoppers will be able to use them from today, during the centre's opening hours.

Bill Harkness, chief executive of Delamare Estates, which is redeveloping the centre, said: "The superb new public toilet facilities have been designed to make the shopping experience as relaxing and comfortable as possible.

"With the Shopmobility scheme we launched last week, I feel customers will now be able to fully enjoy the newly-refurbished shopping centre."
