Local Toilets Strategy

Toilets for public use matter to everybody and are vitally important to residents and visitors.

Public Toilets have a huge impact on the comfort of residents and visitors and knowing where these are located increases the sense of security people have.

The Public Health (Wales) Act 2017 requires all local authorities across Wales to publish a Local Toilets Strategy for its area. The first Local Toilets Strategy for Rhondda Cynon Taf was published in 2019 and, in line with statutory requirements reviewed in May 2023.

The local authority has responsibility to:

  • Assess the community’s need for toilets, including changing facilities for babies and changing places facilities for people with disabilities.
  • Provide details of how to meet the identified need.
  • Produce a Local Toilets Strategy, and
  • Review the strategy, update and publicise revisions.
