Invitation to Take Part in a New Survey on Local Council Provision of Public Toilets

Dr Jonathan Rose (De Montfort University), Dr Steven Parker (Open University) and Gail Ramster (Royal College of Art) are conducting a survey to understand how parish councils support the delivery of public toilet provision.

We are looking for responses from town and parish councils, regardless of whether you have any public toilet provision. This work will help contribute to discussions within the sector about how to best support local councils delivering vital public services. The survey is completely anonymous, and can be completed on behalf of the council either by the clerk or a member of the council with knowledge of the council’s public toilet provision. It will take around 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey is open until 31 October 2026.
