Minutes:
Members received a report informing them of the progress on the complete review of public toilet provision for York which updated the position reported on 4 June 2008.
An update on user numbers as at 15th October was circulated to Members at the meeting.
Members queried what the procedure was if someone used the pull cord in the disabled toilet in the case of an emergency. Officers explained that if the alarm was activated, a flashing light and buzzer would sound outside the toilet. Concern was raised that there was no sign outside the toilet advising people what the alarm/light indicated and what action to take if it was activated. Members suggested that a sign could be placed advising members of the public who to contact if the alarm sounded and also suggested that it could possibly be linked to a 24 hour call out service. Officers agreed to take Members comments on board.
