The British Cleaning Council has awarded a 12,000 euros grant to the British Toilet Association to support the development of a UK Toilet Map app for iPhone and Android platforms.

The UK Toilet Map is a response to the ever changing demographic of public toilet provision. Interactive and constantly updated, the app will allow users to identify all publicly accessible toilets across the country.

Initially created in partnership with Mencap and the Changing Places Consortium, the app will also cater to those who require more than a standard accessible toilet - including facilities that cater to those with profound and multiple learning disabilities and their carers.

It will show the location and opening times of the toilet while a profile sheet will highlight all the facilities contained within that unit. And those who need to plan their journeys will be able to use the inbuilt trip-planner to locate and store toilets on a selected route.
