100th Tesco Changing Places Registered

Astor Bannerman as part of Aveso has installed 100 Tesco Changing Places Toilets to help those with severe disabilities use toilets safely and comfortably.

The supermarket’s 100th Changing Places toilet was officially opened today, 3rd December, in its Watford Extra store. Changing Places toilets are larger than standard facilities and include special-ist equipment such as an overhead hoist, height adjustable adult-sized changing table, height-adjustable washbasin, centrally placed toilet and privacy screen.

Today’s installation marks a three-year-long partnership between MDUK, Aveso, Tesco and the Changing Places Consortium, which seeks to highlight and help the more than 250,000 disabled people across the UK who are unable to use standard toilet facilities.

“Astor Bannerman are proud to have manufactured and installed equipment for this project. 100 extra Changing Places toilets situated in Tesco stores provide more than 250,000 disabled people across the UK greater access to a toilet and more freedom to leave their home. I’d like to congratulate Tesco on the leading position they have taken.”
