Accessible Toilets Wellingborough Town
Since May the 2nd 2022 an accessible toilet has been vandalised and it is still boarded up, with a number of excuses being told such as it’s preventing a homeless person sleeping in there, this is not acceptable, the Swansgate shopping centre mens toilet is too small and the accessible toilet at the Market is undignified for use by the disabled community due to how how often date it is.
Currently Wellingborough Town is lacking suitable facilities for the disabled community, we need a changing spaces accessible toilet which will cater for all disabilities.
Why is this important?
The disabled community need to be considered and given back their value as members of Wellingboroughs community. With the accessible toilets in their current state its degrading all that require accessible facilities and as a basic human right there’s no dignity when expected to use dirty toilets with only basic adaptations within the toilets. These amenities are vital to create inclusion and a barrier free community.
