Other public toilets
Public toilets can also be found at some of our leisure centres, libraries and parks (Chester-le-Street Riverside Park, Wharton Park and Hardwick Park).
Cleaning programme
How often we clean and service our public toilets, depends on where it is and how much they are used. In very busy areas, some are cleaned several times a day, whilst others may only need servicing once a day.
To avoid vandalism, the majority of our sites have limited opening times and are closed at night.
Contact us if you wish to report a problem with cleanliness of our public toilets.
RADAR Key (National key scheme)
RADAR keys offer independent access to disabled people to around 4,000 locked public toilets around the country.
The economy radar key looks like a normal key and therefore can be discreetly carried along with other keys. The key can be purchased by anybody with a disability (no proof of disability required).
For more information on RADAR Keys, please see Disability Rights UK: RADAR Keys.
