Campaign launched to make public toilets a legal requirement in Britain

The British Toilet Association (BTA) has launched the 'Legalise Loos' campaign in response to a 40% decline in public toilets in the UK since 2000. The decrease is attributed to budget cuts by local councils, impacting public health and wellbeing, particularly for those traveling, socializing, or enjoying outdoor activities. With no centralized data to accurately track toilet availability, the BTA estimates just 3,300 remain in operation today. The campaign seeks to legally mandate local governments to maintain and provide public toilet facilities across communities, highlighting their critical role in daily life.

The British Toilet Association reports a 40% decrease in public toilets since 2000, impacting public wellbeing and local economies due to declining local authority funding.

The 'Legalise Loos' campaign aims to mandate public toilets as a legal requirement for governments, addressing the significant shortages affecting citizens across the UK.
