Wealden District Council has recently announced the opening of a brand new Changing Places facility in Pevensey Bay, UK. The new facility is designed to cater to the needs of disabled individuals who require assistance while using the toilet. The Changing Places toilet was officially opened on Monday, March 13, by council dignitaries, and it is located next to the existing council-run toilets in the Sea Road Car Park.
The new unit, which cost over £78,000 and was funded by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ Changing Places Fund, offers a height-adjustable changing bench, a peninsular toilet, and a ceiling hoist, in addition to space for carers. The construction of the toilet was supported by an appointed delivery support worker from Muscular Dystrophy UK, a charity that supports individuals and families living with muscle-wasting conditions.
