Following a letter of support from Luke Hall MP to the Secretary of State, South Gloucestershire Council have successfully secured £135,000 from the Government to install up to six new fully accessible toilets in locations across the area that will feature a host of extra facilities for disabled people and those who need them most.
The facilities will include special equipment including:
- Hoists
- Curtains
- Adult sized changing benches
- Accessible toilets to accommodate carers
These facilities will offer much improved opportunities for everyday activities and days out for users and their families in South Gloucestershire. The first will be set up in our Yate Active Centre and the second location is to be announced.
Welcoming the news, Luke Hall said, "Everybody deserves to have easy access and a safe and comfortable facilities, and I am delighted South Gloucestershire Council has secured this funding. I will be supporting the Council to deliver these new toilets for the community as quickly as possible."
