Public Toilets Strategy

Like all of Welsh councils, Gwynedd has a statutory responsibility to assess the needs of the local community under the Public Health (Wales) Act 2017: Provision of Toilets. All local authorities in Wales are required to draw up and publish a local toilet strategy.

Gwynedd's Cabinet has adopted a review of the strategy adopted back in 2019 which outlines how the Council intends to ensure suitable provision of public toilets across the county despite the budgetary pressures facing public services.

The strategy, aims to promote the number of toilets available to the public across the county

The Local Toilet Strategy aims to:

• Provide clean, safe, appropriately maintained facilities;
• Maximise availability of toilets through Council partnership and other provision;
• Publicise and promote toilet provision information through webpages and other media;
• Ensure public awareness of toilet location, through good direction signage and individual facility information signs;
• Assess the availability and distribution of facilities based upon demand;
• Sustainable provision within the budget available.

The strategy also draws attention to important developments in ‘Changing Places’ toilets for people with disabilities.
