Court Street Public Toilets – Progress on Proposed Asset Transfer

At the September Full Council meeting, Moretonhampstead Parish Council agreed in principle to proceed with the proposed transfer of the Court Street public toilets from Teignbridge District Council. This decision enables the Council’s solicitor to begin formal negotiations on the Heads of Terms and carry out the necessary legal and boundary checks before any final agreement is made.

The Council is currently working through a detailed due‑diligence process to ensure that all responsibilities, rights and liabilities are fully understood. This includes clarifying boundary features, drainage arrangements, and any third‑party equipment or signage located on or near the site. These checks are essential to ensure that any transfer is fair, accurate and sustainable for the parish in the long term.

Once negotiations with Teignbridge District Council progress further, the Parish Council will consider the final terms before making a formal decision on whether to accept the transfer.

We will continue to keep residents updated as this important project moves forward.
