Kirkkonummi closes public restrooms due to vandalism and maintenance costs

Kirkkonummi will not install public restrooms due to high vandalism costs. Officials estimate annual maintenance costs of €10,000-€20,000 are insufficient given frequent damage to public property. Residents are skeptical about the need and upkeep. Vandalism, including damage to benches and graffiti, costs the municipality tens of thousands of euros annually, leading to service closures.
