Changing Places Toilets - Summerland Car Park

8/4/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Somerset West and Taunton Council has been awarded Government funding to deliver two new Changing Places Toilets.
The Council has been allocated £96,360 from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities towards the facilities in Taunton and Minehead.
The larger, accessible toilets are for people who cannot use standard accessible toilets, and include specialist equipment such as hoists, curtains, adult-sized changing benches, and space for carers.
One is planned in Tower Street, Taunton, and another in the Summerland Car Park, Minehead, which will be delivered by Minehead Town Council who worked in partnership with SWT to prepare the bid.
Chris Hall, Director of Place and Climate Change at SWT, said:
“SWT is committed to promoting equality and improving the quality of life for everyone, regardless of their background or personal circumstances.
"Securing this funding means we can make a real difference to the residents and visitors who need to use our facilities and cannot use standard accessible toilets.”
A spokesperson for Minehead Town Council said:
“We are very pleased to have a share of this funding which means local authorities can provide specialised toilet facilities enabling everyone to get out and about and enjoy visits to places like Minehead.”
