TDC should replace toilets in Tendring that have been closed as not fit for purpose
This campaign has ended.
This is a joint petition from TenPAG, Tendring Pensioner Action Group, and UNITE community Clacton on Sea, Tendring District Council have been closing toilets that they say are impossible to maintain, open to abuse and not fit for purpose. These toilets were considered necessary in the past and should be replaced with new fit for purpose ones
Why is this important?
The toilets that are being closed were considered necessary in the past when the population of Tendring was smaller now it has increased, there is a larger number of elderly and vulnerable people in the Tendring area and this increases the need for the toilets that have been closed to be replaced. UNITE have highlighted the problems of mobile workers who have to rely on public toilets for their comfort breaks. The RCN are starting a campaign to show that there is overwhelming evidence that not being able to use a toilet when needed can lead to long and short term health problems. Despite financial constraints and the fact that they do not have a legal obligation to provide toilets for Tendring, the council should behave responsibly and replace the toilets that were available before any closures in the same area as the ones that have been closed
How it will be delivered
We will deliver the petition to the council as a delegation from TenPAG and UNITE
