PUBLIC TOILETS

Early day motion 560, tabled 12 December 2001 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 43 members.

That this House recognises the importance of the provision of public toilets in communities; notes that because of costs and vandalism, many have been closed by local authorities whom currently are not statutorily obliged to provide such public amenities; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to introduce at the earliest opportunity the necessary legislation or regulation to place on councils a duty to install, maintain and improve such important public facilities.

Signatures by party: Labour 33, Liberal Democrat 5, Labour/Co-operative 3, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
