I just wanted to thank you for the information on your website about UK law regarding single sex toilets. I have recently been in correspondence with my town council who intended to make a new toilet facility mixed sex with mixed-sex sink area. I pleaded with them not to for all the reasons we know as women, and they dismissed my concerns over the safety of women & children. It wasn’t until I pointed out the laws/building regs you stated on your website that they backed down and are now having the toilets single sex. I know it’s a small victory, but without you, it wouldn’t have happened. Thank you!
