At Astor Bannerman, we are proud to have been part of the installation of a brand-new Changing Places toilet at Page Park in Bristol. This beloved park, located in Staple Hill, South Gloucestershire, is a cherished green space that offers a variety of recreational activities for the local community. Now, thanks to South Gloucestershire Council and the Friends of Page Park, the park has become even more inclusive, with accessible facilities that cater to everyone’s needs.

Enhancing Accessibility with Changing Places Facilities
The newly installed Changing Places toilet is fully equipped to support people with disabilities and their caregivers. Featuring our state-of-the-art products, the facility includes:
Astor OT200 Ceiling Track Hoist: This essential piece of equipment provides safe and comfortable transfers for individuals with limited mobility.
Astor ABW6 Height Adjustable Wash Basin: This adjustable wash basin ensures that users can access it comfortably, regardless of their height or mobility needs.
Astor Invincible Height Adjustable Changing Table: Built for strength and durability, this changing table can handle frequent use while providing a safe, easy-to-clean surface for personal care.
Mobile Privacy Screen: This provides dignity and privacy during personal care.
Access and Availability of the New Changing Places Toilet
The new Changing Places toilet is open seven days a week from 8am to 7pm in the warmer months (April to September) and 8am to 4pm in the winter (October to March).
Access requires a personal fob, which can be obtained from the One Stop Shop at the Civic Centre in Kingswood. Visitors must complete a short registration form, and the fob can then be kept for future use, ensuring quick and easy access on all visits.
The Impact: A Word From The Councillor
Councillor Sean Rhodes, cabinet member for communities and local place at South Gloucestershire Council, expressed his pride in this new facility:
“I am delighted to see these new accessible toilets open for use. We want to make our parks and open spaces available to everyone, and having accessible toilets and facilities that meet everyone’s needs are important to enable all visitors to spend time in the area. Thanks to the Friends of Page Park for their contribution and involvement to make this possible.”
