Anyone know when they will be reopened? We have two in our little town and both currently closed. The one in the supermarket i believe is open but you have to queue to actually get in the store first and i am not sure if they will let you in just to use the facilities. It must be difficult for some people, especially those out with children who can't always 'hold it' untill they get home.

I think motorway services are obliged to provide minimum services 24/7 so they should be open. You can check online.

York city council are just reopening their public conveniences. They've installed self flushing loos and automatic soap dispensers and taps.

I've read that you should lower the seat before flushing to avoid aerosols so you will still need to use your hand, maybe wrapped in toilet roll?

Motorway services toilets are open and many petrol stations have them too so on the road isn’t a problem.

Otherwise I would like to think that other public ones will be opening ready for shops reopening this Monday.

The situation is improving thankfully and once pubs restaurants and cafes reopen next month we should be back to normal loo wise!!

I've been looking up the toilet situation today. Sadly it is no help to know that some toilets are open if the one you need NOW isn't! I think I'll be staying at home a while longer. hmm
