Accessible toilets 

To find Changing Places toilets with equipment for those with limited mobility, visit the Changing Places website

For some wheelchair accessible toilets you'll need a National Keys Scheme (NKS) key. The scheme is managed by Disability Rights UK and helps ensure people with a disability have 24-hour access to public toilets. You can buy an NKS key for a small cost on the Disability Rights UK website. 

Courtesy toilet scheme

This scheme encourages local businesses, pubs, restaurants and shops to make their toilets available to the public. Premises accepted onto the scheme will be eligible for a grant up to £500. We consider applications based on the location of their premises, the number of toilets available and the standard of upkeep.

To apply to join the community toilet scheme email prop.serv@westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk

Toilet cleaning and repair problems
