At some time, everybody needs public toilets. It’s a fact of life. We’re helping you to find out where they are, so you can plan your visit.
Some people need public toilets more than others, some think they’re a hilarious joke. Obviously they’ve not got a medical reason to need them.
You might have a toddler in tow, or simply drink a lot of water (which we all should). Whatever the reason, we’re on the look-out for public toilets to add to this list. Please let us know if you know of any more –
- Coin operated public toilets. They’re mostly single-cubicle Danfo ones here on the Fylde coast.
- Toilets that the public can use in local businesses
- Accessible (disabled) toilets
- Changing Places toilets – with facilities to change disabled adults.
There’s a handy finder for Changing Places facilities across the UK here
