Have you ever struggled to find a clean, accessible toilet when out and about in Coventry? Maybe you’ve had a great experience and found the perfect spot, or perhaps you’ve had to cut your trip short because of the lack of facilities. Whatever your experience, we want to hear it!
We are Need The Loo—a group of Coventry citizens working with Connecting for Good to campaign for better public toilet provision in Coventry city centre. We’ve heard countless stories from people who struggle to access toilets, and it’s clear: Coventry’s toilet situation affects us all. From families with young children to people with health conditions, and everyone in between, having access to public toilets is a basic necessity that many are finding hard to meet. Likewise, Coventry has many great toilets on offer however not everyone knows about them!
We have been making good progress with the campaign and are in talks with Coventry City Council.
Our Findings:
People are avoiding certain areas or limiting their trips to the city centre because they’re not confident they’ll find clean, accessible toilets. Signage is a problem as people are not aware of all the public toilets they can use. This lack of provision is not only frustrating for residents but is also affecting local businesses and the city's footfall.
