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.
