Footfall increases where there are turnstiles which help pay for toilet maintenance

The decline in public toilets has sparked public debate, and Westminster City Council has been identified as a shining example. The British Toilet Association pointed out that: “Westminster City Council is a tourist ‘Mecca’, what with the Olympics coming next year, but more people use their 28 public toilets than go to all of London’s theatres every year,” adding. “That’s 16 to 17 million people a year use their facilities, which are well-maintained and they are mainly attended.”

Shopping centres and local authorities will find visitor footfall increases in areas where there are well-maintained toilet facilities, and Time and Attendance South East can supply toilet turnstiles which help pay for the facilities’ maintenance. The turnstile bodies have lockable lids to prevent unwanted access and are securely mounted to the floor plate. The separate coin box can be mounted either in front of the turnstile, at the side or it can be wall mounted with the cash box at the rear, giving a vast range of configurable options.
