Community Toilet Scheme

The Community Toilet Scheme is an initiative being piloted by Waltham Forest Council to provide clean, safe and accessible public toilet residen and visitors in the borough.
Under the scheme businesses, within the pilot area of Leytonstone, are letting members of the public use their toilet facilities free of charge during normal opening hours. Several of the premises offer wheelchair access and baby changing facilities. Each business will receive an annual fee to help towards the cost of maintaining the toilets.
The scheme is expected to improve access to toilet facilities for the general public by increasing their number and having them located in more convenient locations.
How does the scheme work?
Local businesses are paid a small annual fee, of between £800-£1,000, to open up their toilets for public use. This fee is dependant on the size and number of conveniences offered by the organisation.
Members of the public can use the toilet facilities during the premise's opening hours and without any need to make a purchase.
Participating premises will display one of the following stickers in their window depending on the type of facilities offered:
What about wheelchair access and baby changing facilities?
Currently four out of five of our scheme members offer wheelchair accessible facilities and two out of the five provide baby changing facilities.
