Editor's Notes
- For most people you don't think twice about toilets Toilet provision as a passport Accessible provision Changing places Personal story
- importance of toilet as freedom existing svcs in public places not visible current method is asking LA's for form 170k in the UK who need full accessible provision A few quotes from Government Paper in 2006 called AN URGENT NEED from Public Health Dept. "More seriously, for older people, those with disabilities or health problems, the lack of public toilet facilities restricts their lives. Indeed it is not just an issue of “ inconvenience”, it is about people’s dignity and quality of life." "Until new provision begins to become available we should make the best use of what we already have. This means ensuring everyone knows the location of publicly accessible toilets and what facilities are available."
- sit or squat – not accessibilty changing places – not user-generated limited info, not online/public book (national key scheme guide lists 7000 toilets, £12.25 a year!)
- tourist sights can access new markets public spending on individuals rather than free info toilet per person not just existing provision, encourage new facilities
- For most people you don't think twice about toilets Toilet provision as a passport Accessible provision Changing places Personal story
