Campaigners have launched a new campaign to encourage the Government to invest in the delivery of public toilets.
The number of public toilets has reduced by 40% since 2000, according to the British Toilet Association (BTA).
The BTA has launched the ‘Legalise Loos’ campaign to make public toilet provision a legal requirement for the Government and local authorities.
Raymond Martin, managing director of the BTA, urged the Government to invest in the provision of public toilets.
‘By spending a penny now, we can safeguard facilities for the future, benefiting local communities and local economies in the long term.’
