Community Toilets

Anumber of businesses across Ashford Town Centre are part of the Community Toilet Scheme, which provides safe, hygienic and accessible toilet facilities. This means they open their toilets for the public to use. The toilets can be used free of charge, with no obligation to make a purchase in the store the toilet is located.

This scheme is run by Ashford Borough Council and businesses are paid an annual grant for signing up to it. Businesses will be checked by us to ensure they are keeping the facilities clean and accessible. Businesses interested in joining this scheme can request details by emailing communitytoiletscheme@ashford.gov.uk

The available toilets can be identified by looking out for the bright yellow sticker (pictured to the right) in the shop window. They can also be found by referring to the map below.

Those marked with this symbol represent Changing Places toilets.

Disabled toilets with a changing bench, hoist, privacy screen and space for two carers are the only facilities that qualify as fully accessible Changing Places toilets, which meet the needs of people with complex care. You can find them marked on the map (below). You can find more information at www.ashford.gov.uk/community-toilet-scheme
