House Member

Replace all shower heads.Action: Ongoing

Feasibility of Shower in Ladies Toilets. The Handicap Sec hasviewed and agrees there is just enough room to fit a ceramic shower tray similar to the ones inthe gents. Rather than an electric shower it will be much easier to tap into the existing water supply which runs across the top of the toilet cubicle/top of the men’s shower. Costs will consist of buying/fitting a shower tray, the shower components, plus connecting to the current supply. Handicap Sec to provide costs, but needs clarification on who will carry out the work. ANGC are responsible for the upkeep of the building so any improvements will have to be on a self help basis.
