Ban charging people to use public toilets
I would like the UK Government or Parliament to ban places charging people to use public toilets. I believe everyone should have free access to use public toilets.
I believe going to the toilet is a basic human right that should not be denied to anyone just because they have no cash on them to pay to go to the toilet. Furthermore, I feel it would be cruel to deny people access to using public toilets if they didn't have any money on them, especially if they were in an emergency, such as a period emergency. For example, I believe a woman should never be denied the opportunity to change her sanitary towel just because she had no cash to use public toilets.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
