Lack of public toilets in UK
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Evidently there has been a drop of 40% in public toilet provision in the UK since 2001. This is seen as a barrier to older people being able to get out and about. I agree that this a an area for concern but not only for older people. It affects families with young kids, travelling workers and visitors to an area, really anybody who is away from home.

I have blogged on this topic before as I think its importance is vastly underrated. Have you ever had a day out marred by searching for public toilets, found them but deemed them to unfit to enter or discovering that the facilities closed at 5pm on a Summer evening? All of the above have happened to me on numerous occasions.

Hi
I have spent 3 years building a website that list all the disabled loos in the UK, generally there are non disabled loos nearby. I am starting to list the non-disabled loos.
Cheers

Chris, thanks for the link to your site, It is better to do some research before leaving home to ensure that there are suitable toilet facilities in the area that you plan to visit.
