Provision of public toilets in English towns
Make it mandatory for every local authority in England to provide public toilet facilities in their towns and cities and to provide councils with the funding for this.
Why is this important?
Public toilets serve a basic human need and lack of them can add to the problems already seen in the collapse of the high street. people with bladder or bowel conditions will not venture out. Towns become less attractive and tourism will falter. Most major cities in England no longer provide any public toilets. a few authorities provide a community toilet scheme but these depend on the goodwill of businesses and on their opening hours. Apart from tourist towns public conveniences are now rare.
