Calls for more public disabled toilets in Glasgow as cerebral palsy fighter leads the way

A Glasgow cerebral palsy fighter is campaigning to have more toilets for severely disabled people installed across the city.

Jill Clark, from Knightswood, is often unable to go the toilet when she's away from home due to a lack of Changing Places facilities. Unlike standard bathrooms, Changing Places are larger accessible toilets for severely disabled people, with equipment such as hoists, curtains, adult-sized changing benches, and space for carers.

Without the extra equipment and space, people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, or with physical disabilities such as spinal injuries, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis, are unable to use public bathrooms.
