Scheme makes toilets available to residents and visitors

Lanark businesses and organisations have come together to make sure that toilets are easily available to residents and visitors to the town.

Discover Lanark Business Improvement District (BID) has co-ordinated the scheme to ensure that clean and safe toilets are available to the public across the town centre and in the surrounding area. 

The crux of the scheme is that members of the public are welcome to use the toilets for free, with no requirement to spend money

Antonia Pompa, BID Manager said, “The great advantage of this scheme is that toilets are available across the town centre and beyond, not just in one location.”

“I am very grateful to all the businesses and organisations who are making their facilities available for free. The majority of locations offer accessible toilets and baby changing facilities as well, so no-one should be put off visiting Lanark for the day.”

The scheme will be publicised on the Discover Lanark website, via social media and using posters and stickers at participating locations.

The organisations taking part in Lanark Town Centre are Clydesdale Housing Association, Costa, Horse & Jockey, Lanark Library, Lanark Lifestyles, Lanark Memorial Hall, Morrisons and Tesco.

Beyond the town centre, toilet facilities are available at The Barn Tea Room & Gift Shop at Langloch Farm, and at the Mill Café and the Visitor Centre at New Lanark World Heritage Site.
