Abolish the charge to use public toilets e.g in train stations

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

One of the biggest scams and anti-homeless designs is sitting right under our noses; why should we have to pay any amount of money so we can comfortably go to the toilet when out? It’s a basic human right that everybody should be entitled to.
In train or coach stations particularly if you’ve paid to use the service you shouldn’t pay to use the toilet.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because it's about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

The decision on whether to charge for toilets is the responsibility of the company managing the station.
