RADAR locking system to be fitted

I was asked by a constituent if it would be possible for the disabled toilet at the facility on The Esplanade, near to Barnhill Rock Garden, to be fitted with a Disability Rights UK RADAR key so that the toilet can still be accessed after the block has been locked up for the day. The national key scheme was introduced in 1981 and the key now opens more than 9,000 accessible toilets in the UK. I raised the matter with the head of the council’s property section and it was agreed that a RADAR locking system should be fitted. I am advised it will be operational within a couple of weeks.
