The Community Toilet Scheme is a borough wide scheme to provide clean, safe and accessible public toilets in more convenient locations for residents and visitors in the borough.
Under the scheme businesses let members of the public use their toilet facilities free of charge during normal opening hours. Several of the premises offer wheelchair access and baby changing facilities.
How does the scheme work?
Local businesses are paid a small annual fee, of between £800-£1,000, to open up their toilets for public use. This fee is dependent on the facilities offered by the organisation.
Members of the public can use the toilet facilities during the premise's opening hours and without any need to make a purchase.
Participating premises will display one of the following stickers in their window depending on the facilities offered:
How are the toilets inspected?
All Community Toilet Scheme members are regularly inspected by council officers to ensure they meet appropriate standards. If you have any concerns about any member of the scheme, please contact:
