Access to Public Toilets
Health Committee – 10am
Public toilets are a vital service for Londoners and tourists. However, there is an overall decline in the provision of public toilets provided by local authorities across the UK and questions on how to improve access, information and signposting, while increasing supply, are overlooked and remain largely unanswered.
The Health Committee will meet to discuss public toilets in London. The guests are:
- Karen Hoe, Changing Places Manager
- Ruth Wakeman, Director of Services, Policy and Evidence, Crohn’s and Colitis UK
- Raymond Martin, Managing Director, British Toilet Association
