Petition Action

Update building regulations to require more women’s toilets in public buildings.

Petition Details

Update building regulations to require more women’s toilet facilities in public buildings, taking into account longer usage times, children accompanying mothers, and delays caused for others waiting. Apply updated standards to new buildings and major refurbishments.

Additional Information

Current building regulations do not reflect real usage patterns. Women often face longer queues due to factors such as menstruation and pregnancy. Young children commonly accompany their mothers to the toilet, increasing demand. Insufficient provision causes delays and inconvenience for women and those waiting for them, affecting comfort, dignity and practical use of public spaces. Updating the regulations would ensure women have fair and adequate access to toilet facilities in public buildings.
