Five people stand around a pool table. On the right a woman wearing blue has her hands up as she gives a speech.

Great to be at the launch of Wee the People, brilliant new book by @gaillyk.bsky.social & @jo-anneb.bsky.social at the @royal collegeofart.bsky.social. It’s a really special book. We’re very lucky to have @gaillyk.bsky.social in the Alliance.

White background with blue border and blue text. Icons along the bottom include a toilet illustration, the London Loo Alliance logo, and a megaphone illustration. Text reads: 88% of respondents struggled to find a public toilet in London on one or more occasions in the last month.

‼️The worry of not being able to find a toilet when out and about limits many people’s daily lives, forcing them to make much shorter journeys or stay very close to home. This can have detrimental impacts on people’s mental health and wellbeing.

We are committed to changing this.

MOTION AGREED! 📢
We are delighted that the @londonassembly.bsky.social has agreed the motion to ask for the provision of public toilets to be a statutory duty for local authorities, and for funding to be ringfenced to allow this.

Thank you @carolinerussell.bsky.social for all your support 😁

Over 20 people sit or stand looking at a camera in front of a glass building. Many are holding a large white banner with the words London Loo Alliance written on it.

. @london.gov.uk will hopefully now write to the government about making the provision of public toilets a statutory duty w/ ring fenced funding after @londonassembly.bsky.social passed a motion proposed by @carolinerussell.bsky.social today. Glad about role player by @londonlooalliance.bsky.social

Public toilet provision is a public health issue and an inequalities issue. Some members of the London Loo Alliance will be at City Hall today, hoping to move the importance of good provision up the agenda.

A group of people outside London's City Hall building. The group is holding a banner with the London Loo Alliance logo and other member logos.
