Re open Poole Public toilets
Re open town center and shopping area public toilets. No to shop toilet share scheme.
Why is this important?
Poole Council's closure of town centre and shopping area toilets is hurting those who need more accessible loos - whether that be for those with disabilities, parents with small children and our OAPs. The alternative offered of using the toilets provided in shops does not take into account our community's needs as the shops taking part in the scheme may not be open when you need it or not be what people need. For example, I have spoken to disabled people that would not want to go into a cafe to use their wc to change themselves with their helper.
One other lady said:
"My husband had prostate cancer. We wouldn't have been able to go out if there were no public toilets for him to use. There are many in the same situation who rely on them."
In Bournemouth, they have new disabled toilets with hoist and a changing table.
Let's get Poole Council to reinstate the public toilets - particularly for OAPs, parents with small children and disabled people.
