British Toilet Association: News from the BTA
Matters lavatorial could well eclipse the weather as Britain's number one obsession - and quite rightly too! We may learn to live with bad weather but we're growing increasingly impatient with the poor quality of many of our public toilets, as articles and letters in local papers all over Britain testify.
We'll be placing all press releases about the British Toilet Association campaign for better toilets for all on this website so that you can follow our progress.
Our latest press release can be read below, and you can access earlier releases from our archive.
BTA Conference and AGM - 15 Sept 2010 - Stratford on Avon
We invite you to attend the BTA Conference on Wednesday 15th September at The Stratford Hotel Stratford on Avon which will be of interest to all BTA Members and other organisations and companies that are involved with any aspect of ‘away from home’ toilet provision.
The agenda includes:
BTA Review and ‘Where can I go?’ Campaign update
Changing Places – Changing Lives
- practical advice for those considering providing Changing Places toilets
British Standards BS6465 Part 4
– preview of this new standard for public toilets
BTA Innovation Awards presentations
The Public Toilet Closure Debate
BTA are very concerned at the effect the current financial situation is having on Local Authority budgets and the likely impact on provision of public toilets. Many LAs have been reported to be considering, or even planning, closing public toilets or transferring responsibility to Parish Councils. There will be an open discussion on this critical issue including the real issues and practical solutions.
The conference will commence with registration at 10.00 with tea and coffee available for a 10.30 start. The AGM will follow the conference at 15.30. A buffet lunch and refreshments are included in the conference fee of £75 plus VAT. This includes free parking.
Please reserve your place(s) now by email to enquiries@britloos.co.uk, or by phone – 01403 258779, and in each case we will send a VAT invoice to you.
