A Nottinghamshire woman has voiced her frustration over a lack of suitable bins in disabled toilets. Michelle Higginson, 38, of Clifton, says a number of disabled toilets that have pedal bins she and other wheelchair users cannot actually use.
Michelle said: "I know for some people it's probably minor, but for me in a wheelchair it's quite frustrating. All the disabled bins, even at the hospitals, they are pedal bins that you have to put your foot on to raise the lid.
"It's them everywhere. Even at our local doctors its the same, and I keep asking them if there's any way at all I can have a normal bin, as I want to wash my hands but I don't want to leave my rubbish in the toilet, and I don't want to have to touch the bin lid, especially with what germs are about - there's Covid and Monkeypox."
