RENOVATION work on Penistone's public toilet has hit a setback following problems with the electricity supply, which councillors are now trying to solve.

The toilet, near the bus shelter in the town centre, is being renovated and turned into a single unisex unit and changes were ordered to improve the electricity supply to the building.

He said the council was now 'in contention' with the power supply company, which was charging more than £1,000 for the work.

The position of the mains supply at the moment meant that it would currently not be possible to wash the floor of the room with water, he said.
