Increase provision of public toilets

Make provision of public toilets in every park, every high street and every station a priority. The closure of cafes, coffee shops and pubs during lockdown meant that Londoners were left with next to no toilets, or, at least very, very poor provision. This lack of public toilets disproportionately affects women and older people. It is as much an equality issue as access for people with disabilities. London is especially poor in this respect. Outside London most places are well provided with public toilets, and outside London most councils kept the toilets open and spotlessly clean throughout lockdown.

In Tokyo every tube station had public toilets. I wonder if new Crossrail stations have toilets at every station. Can toilets be added to our current tube stations?

I totally agree with this one as long as they are monitored for deviants and regularly kept clean.

London is awful: Most of the public toilets have been closed / sold off, making way for unnecessary and badly located shops. Khan should concentrate on making life for existing Londoners and visitors better before approving any more ill-conceived mega developments (there is no way to contact the mayor directly).
