Disabled ignored

Instead of calling for genderneutral toilets, we should be addressing the issue of the lack of disabledaccess lavatories for people of either gender.

toilets for the disabled are present in most public buildings, but having no more than one such public convenience in busy areas of towns and cities is simply ridiculous.

How is a blind person expected to take a guide dog into the paltry sanitary facilities that still exist in shopping centres nationwide? and what is a wheelchairbound rail passenger to do if the only disabled toilet on the train is out of order?

this happens every day — and some disabled toilets are not even maintained, even though businesses have a legal duty to make sure their loos are accessible.
