Rejected petition All public toilets should be free and open to all at all times.

The government should cancel all charging measures for public toilets, and ensure that toilets are open to the public 24 hours a day as much as possible.

More details

Going to the toilet is birthright to all human beings. However, there are still a large number of public toilets (such as stations) that charge the public. The charging of toilets is a ruthless violation of human rights. Therefore, the government should cancel all charging measures for public toilets.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The operation of public toilets in the UK is a matter for local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament. This means the Government is not directly responsible for the action this petition calls for.

You could have a petition calling for the Government to fund local authorities to provide more free public toilets in their areas, if that is something you'd like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
