New Changing Places toilets to be built across England
On the 24th of March the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities announced that severely disabled people who need specialised facilities when they are out and about will benefit from over 500 new Changing Places toilets in England.
The Chancellor confirmed in the Spring Statement that over £23.5 million has been allocated to 191 councils across England to install Changing Places toilets in public places and tourist attractions, increasing accessibility in areas where users want them most.
An additional £6.5 million will be allocated in a further round later in 2022 and will focus on areas where there is little or no access to Changing Places toilets.
