Open Public Conveniences
Petition in parliament to compel local authorities to provide viable public toilets
Why is this important?
Demographically the U.K.s population is ageing.I am sixty six years old and take a combination of tablets including a diuretic .I find it very difficult to find a public convenience open in any town or city I visit. Local authorities blame austerity cuts to funding and refer people to using shops ,pubs supermarkets etc. Shops have to be open and have a restaurant to provide toilet facilities .Pub landlords don't take kindly for the public to use their toilets without a purchase, and supermarkets are usually on the edge of town.I have suffered much discomfort in the search for open facilities.Surely it is basic right for every citizen to have these biological needs met.
