How many public toilets are left?
The story highlights a worrying trend: England has lost at least 14% of its local authority public toilets since 2016. This decline is often due to budget cuts and councils struggling to maintain facilities. Fewer public conveniences can make it harder for people to enjoy public spaces, especially for families or those with health conditions.
