Closed petition Require all toilet doors in public places to be push to exit.

Closed on

Require all public buildings, pubs, restaurants etc, toilet doors push open to exit the toilet instead of having to use a door handle to open the door after you have washed your hands.

Public health concerns have seen the country in lock down for over a year. A simple and effective way to increase public hygiene would be using common sense and reverse the door opening direction to push to open to exit.

Instead, opening most toilet doors in the country means having to place your clean bare hand to grip onto a dirty door handle to get out.
Not nice at all!
