Accessible toilets in community spaces are crucial to supporting Disabled residents to live independently. The lack of accessible toilets is a recurring topic at Merton CIL’s Access Champions meetings. It is important that we as Disabled people share our views to help improve the provision of public toilets and push to #MakeMertonAccessible.

This council are currently consulting our community on how the provision of public toilets in Merton affects people in their daily lives, especially older people and those with health conditions requiring more frequent visits to the toilet. Please have your say by 3rd April!
