Require local authorities to provide free, accessible public toilets

Closed 46 signatures

What the petition asks

There are no public toilets anywhere I look, and we are often denied access to shop or pub toilets when we are in need and far away from home, and it is disgusting that we as human beings have to plan our day around when we will have access to a toilet.
Local councils are not legally obliged to provide these even though if I was to openly do my business outside in the public this would be considered a crime and be offensive, yet we all have the same bodily functions. With IBS myself and a weak bladder I am often restricted or anxious about going for a walk or to a new place as I do not know if there will be any toilets for me to access. This needs to change as it is a basic human right.
