Witney venues install sanitary bins in men's toilets

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

Witney Town Council has installed sanitary bins in men's toilets at two public venues following campaigning.

Sanitary bins have been installed in men's toilets at the Corn Exchange and Burwell Hall in Witney, following discussions between Witney Town Council and a local resident campaigning for the Boys Need Bins initiative.

The campaign calls for better access to sanitary disposal facilities for men who use continence products such as stoma bags and incontinence pads. During a committee meeting, councillors were told that a lack of such facilities can have a significant impact on quality of life, particularly for people with conditions like Crohn's disease or colitis.

The new bins extend the existing provision already in place in women's and disabled toilets at both venues, promoting greater inclusion across the public facilities.
