Closed petition Require businesses with customer toilets allow use without purchase

Closed on 30 May 2024

No specific law requires businesses to provide free of charge public access to customer toilets. As a result, many businesses require customers to buy goods before allowing them to use toilets.

I think providing free-of-charge toilets in businesses such as pubs and coffee shops is essential for public welfare. I think there is a scarcity of public toilets relative to the population. This move could help enhance public health and inclusivity, offer economic benefits to businesses, and contribute to a more hospitable and accessible public environment, positively contributing to the cost of living and the UK's reputation as a tourist-friendly country.
