Good to see this in the new Pride in place strategy. www.gov.uk/government/p... From a London perspective it’s disappointing how little of the total funding london is getting.

Crazy decision! www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Fascinating new report from AgeUK London, 'Lifting the Lid', about #publictoilets and #localgov in the capital. Full of great data, such as: - 97 toilets closed in ten years. - but 32 opened (I know that sounds bad, but I'm pleased it's any). www.ageuk.org.uk/london/publi...

😀extra toilet provision for #Kennington park event 👍

When there is the same number of male and female toilets

Great article by Sophia Money-Coutts debating whether it should be free to use public toilets www.telegraph.co.uk/family/life/...

No one should be prevented from making a journey they want to take because of a lack of toilets on the transport network. Great to see these new toilets opening. Thank you for leading on this Caroline and all the brilliant campaigners in London.

“Toilets have a twin effect. Number one, it’s about health and wellbeing. But they’re also about the local economy.” Fantastic to read the Guardian's recent article about Ray Martin from the British Toilet Association, a London Loo Alliance member, discussing his work to improve Britain's loos ⬇️

👍Advertising the extensive Community Toilet Scheme in @lewisham.gov.uk ...but limited to those who can use QR code 🙁 @lewishamlocal.bsky.social #digitalinclusion

Fact Friday 🔍 An interesting history lesson on when the first public toilet was built in London in the below thread!

🚰As someone explained in our recent survey, many people in London restrict their fluid intake due to fear of not being able to find a public toilet. 🩺 Poor fluid intake can lead to dehydration which can have serious complications. ‼️Public toilet provision is a public health issue.

Great @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social interview with London Loo Alliance member @gaillyk.bsky.social @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

🙂Quite funny...but sadly not a laughing matter #nojoke

Fantastic to see two London Loo Alliance members talking about toilets on BBC Breakfast this morning 🛋️ Thank you to Ray from British Toilet Association for your insight and to @gaillyk.bsky.social for your excellent interview 🚽🙌

Accessible toilets are part of the bigger picture of #incLOOsion

Great to be at the launch of Wee the People, brilliant new book by @gaillyk.bsky.social & @jo-anneb.bsky.social at the @royal collegeofart.bsky.social. It’s a really special book. We’re very lucky to have @gaillyk.bsky.social in the Alliance.

In today's blog post, @jo-anneb.bsky.social ‪and @gaillyk.bsky.social talk us through "Designing Inclusive Public Toilets," and why if designers can get these facilities right, they can design anything accessibly. ➡️ Read now: bit.ly/3TIXnEd #AcWri #AcademicSky #accessibility

We spoke to Martin Jackaman about his journey with #ChangingPlacesToilets, from creating the first design to the consortium's 20th anniversary on Changing Places Toilets Awareness Day 2025 #CPTAD2025 Read here: pamis.org.uk/news/news/ch...

Many happy returns🎉🥳 #incLOOsion

Changing Places toilets are vital for many disabled people, but only 22% of our community said in our Access Survey, supported by the Motability Scheme, that they’re easy to find. That’s why your reviews matter. Share your experience at euansguide.com 💙 #CPAD25

‼️Our survey found 57% of people were forced to come home early/change plans due to being unable to find a public toilet in London. 🚽Worries about not finding a toilet can discourage people from getting out and about, impacting their social interaction and excluding them from society.

'Accessible' should mean 'accessible in practice': 👇the passage to the accessible toilet at the end of the corridor is obstructed. ☹️Wheel-chair users should not have to ask for what is a basic service

Our survey found that many people struggle to find public toilets in the capital, let alone find ones that meet their accessibility needs. For London to be an inclusive and welcoming city, we want to see urgent action to improve provision of accessible toilet🚽‼️ bit.ly/LondonLooAlliance

Thank you to @carolinerussell.bsky.social for raising some important Qs at yesterday's plenary meeting re public toilets, incl provision for bus drivers and for free and accessible public toilets to be prioritised in the Oxford St pedestrianisation plans 🚽🚌 www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

‼️The worry of not being able to find a toilet when out and about limits many people’s daily lives, forcing them to make much shorter journeys or stay very close to home. This can have detrimental impacts on people’s mental health and wellbeing. We are committed to changing this.

Congratulations to London Loo Alliance members @gaillyk.bsky.social @jo-anneb.bsky.social on the publication of their new book, Wee the People. Looking forward to getting a copy. Up the toilet revolution!✊🚽

🔍In our online survey, we asked people for general comments about their experience of public toilets in London. 🚽Londoners deserve clean and accessible toilets, including those people that need to use the toilet more frequently due to health reasons. #londonlooalliance #publictoilets

Great to see coverage of the More Loos for Merton campaign in the the SW Londoner www.swlondoner.co.uk/news/2106202...

This consultation is open for another week

Some members of the London Loo Alliance enjoyed lunch together after our meeting this morning. We are very grateful to @HallmarkFDN for supporting the London Loo Alliance and our work to make our communities more welcome for everyone.

🔍In an online survey conducted by the London Loo Alliance, we found that 94% of 285 respondents viewed action being taken to improve public toilet provision in London as either very urgent or urgent. 📢Londoners deserve better public toilet provision. Bit.ly/LondonLooAlliance

📢Still a week left if you want to see toilet provision or anything else improved...

Changing Places Toilets are essential to enable everyone to enjoy community life, socialise and travel. Changing Places Toilets should be provided in addition to standard accessible toilets 🚽

Larger cubicles are useful when out and about with people who need assistance. #CarersWeek

There’s a brilliant and broad coalition of people that want to make communities more welcoming for everyone by improving public toilet provision. 👏

. @london.gov.uk will hopefully now write to the government about making the provision of public toilets a statutory duty w/ ring fenced funding after @londonassembly.bsky.social passed a motion proposed by @carolinerussell.bsky.social today. Glad about role player by @londonlooalliance.bsky.social

📢 My motion calling on the Mayor to write to govt requesting that provision of public toilets becomes a statutory duty for local authorities with ring-fenced funding to support delivery and maintenance passed unanimously! 🧻

At City Hall with @londonlooalliance.bsky.social to see @carolinerussell.bsky.social’s motion. She asks the Mayor to write to government so councils have a duty to provide toilets with extra ringfenced funds - London Assembly gives unanimous support!

MOTION AGREED! 📢 We are delighted that the @londonassembly.bsky.social has agreed the motion to ask for the provision of public toilets to be a statutory duty for local authorities, and for funding to be ringfenced to allow this. Thank you @carolinerussell.bsky.social for all your support 😁

We're delighted to be at City Hall today to push for better public toilet provision in the capital at the @londonassembly.bsky.social Plenary meeting 🚽

Public toilet provision is a public health issue and an inequalities issue. Some members of the London Loo Alliance will be at City Hall today, hoping to move the importance of good provision up the agenda.

An overnight accommodation levy could fund vital infrastructure to improve life for Londoners & visitors. We think 1 of the things it could contribute to is the improvement of public toilets. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/... @london.gov.uk @carolinerussell.bsky.social @centreforlondon.bsky.social

👏Assembly members @carolinerussell.bsky.social Neil Garrett and Keith Prince for asking questions of Mayor of @london.gov.uk about toilets and rest facilities for bus and taxi drivers

Inclusion London spoke to @theguardian.com‬ about the toilet segregation and exclusion from public spaces faced by the UK trans community, echoing the exclusion we face as Disabled people. 🧵Thread below with our full comment 👇 buff.ly/F95xuca

📢 Do you have a view on toilets and gender? The EHRC is now consulting on a new code of practice for service providers. Chapter 13 is most relevant www.equalityhumanrights.com/equality/equ...

DID YOU KNOW❓ In London, three times as many public toilets have been closed as have been opened in the last decade. @londonlooalliance.bsky.social are working to change this! 🚽 You can find out more here: bit.ly/LondonLooAlliance

❓What is the 'loo leash'?🚽 Where people don’t leave their homes as much as they might like because they are anxious that they won’t be able to find a toilet when we need to. This can also mean people drink less which can lead to dehydration and associated health risks. #LondonLooAlliance
