This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor Holly Bruce:- "Council believes the availability of public toilets is an equality issue, a public health issue and human right. Council believes that access to clean, accessible toilets, which meet the needs of people of all genders and abilities is a basic requirement of health, hygiene and personal safety. Council believes that access to a toilet is about social inclusion, being part of a community and being able to move around the city barrier free. Council notes there are only four toilets operated by the council's operator Healthmatic and only four toilets maintained across the city's parks. Council notes that Glasgow Life operates venues with accessible public toilets, but these aren't operational twenty-four hours a day and many residents are unaware of their right to use them. Council also notes that relieving oneself in public is a criminal offence in Scotland and residents should be provided with abundant opportunities for avoiding this situation. Council believes that taking a strategic look at provision across all council services would have a positive impact on many people's experiences of enjoying parks and public spaces. This could be particularly true for pregnant people, people with children, young people, disabled people and people with underlying health conditions, all of which may require more frequent use of a toilet. Council also believes adequate public toilet provision is a feminist issue with research showing women feel the lack of provision more acutely. Council recalls the public toilet petition submitted back in 2021 by Patricia Fort, this petition received one of the highest number of signatures in recent times and thanks all residents that engaged in the conversation. Council regrets that no further action was taken Therefore, Council agrees to develop a public toilet strategy within the next 12 months, that includes but is not limited to:- - Carrying out a mapping exercise on public toilet provision and its proximity to public parks and civic spaces - A review of public toilet opening hours, signage and potential use of technology at public toilet sites - Working in collaboration with Glasgow Life, community venues, transport providers and businesses on a public toilet awareness programme - Exploring options of developing a Comfort Scheme small grants fund, similar to Highland Council - Engaging with vulnerable users, like women, children, disabled and elderly people on their experience of using public toilets - Outlining how Glasgow City Council are improving accessibility for people with mobility issues and people who care for young children who need changing facilities or larger cubicles - Outlining how Glasgow City Council is complying with requirements of the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 relating to public toilet provision - Investigating how the City Development Plan can play a part in increasing public toilet provision - Investigating that all in-house and private suppliers of public toilets are free of charge, removing the 20p cash only charge.".
