SIXTEEN public toilets are set to get a £500,000 spruce-up.
Work will be carried out to give them hand-washing and drying facilities and baby-changing space.
And they will be regularly topped up with toilet paper and soap.
All will have sanitary dispensers and disposal containers.
Vandal-proof fittings will be used in a bid to beat yobs.
Kirklees Council today promised that the new-style toilets would be "effectively maintained".
Four sites have been named for the first wave of changes.
They are in Albion Street, Huddersfield; Towngate in Holmfirth; Longcauseway, Dewsbury; and in Cleckheaton's new market hall.
New minimum standards will mean the toilets will be accessible for disabled people. Clr Ann Denham, Cabinet member for the environment, said: "We have many public toilets that are under-used, vandalised or boarded up as a result of vandalism.
"This programme will provide public toilets of a good standard that people will not feel uncomfortable using."
The proposals are due to be agreed at a Kirklees Cabinet meeting on September 22.
Toilets planned to be in the second phase are in Honley, Marsh, Milnsbridge, Holme, Peel Street in Marsden, Meltham, Slaithwaite, Mirfield, Batley Market Place, Birstall and The Green, Heckmondwike.
Talks will also be held with British Waterways on providing toilets at Tunnel End, Marsden.
Clr Denham said: "The criteria we have used in reviewing the provision of public toilets has been based on where they are most needed and used, namely town and local shopping centres, market towns and tourist centres.
"They will meet Disability Discrimination Act requirements and will be effectively maintained," added Clr Denham.
The Government has told all councils to have programmes for work on public toilets in place by October this year.
