Gedling Borough Council has installed a new, fully accessible toilet facility at a park in Arnold town centre.

Funding for the project came from the Changing Places Fund, the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and match funding from Gedling Borough Council.
The Changing Places toilet facility is designed to help meet the needs of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, as well as people with other physical disabilities such as spinal injuries, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis.
The equipment in the Changing Places toilet includes:
– Astor Invincible Changing Table
– Peninsular Toilet
Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John Clarke MBE said:
“These toilets will provide a vital facility for people visiting the park, the town centre or the new AMP building, and the inclusion of specialist “Changing Places” equipment will mean that no one will be excluded from accessing them.
“This project is part of our commitment to invest in and revitalise our town centres and I’m sure will be a welcome addition to the area for many of our residents and visitors.”
