A petition is calling for public toilets in a Sheffield park frequented by families.
By Andrew Barton & Molly WilliamsA petition has been launched calling on the council to provide loos in the city's Meersbrook Park, which sits on a steep hillside.
Sarah Saunderson, who launched the appeal, said the park was used by many families "who just can't make it back up the big hill when caught out".Geograph/Neil TheasbyMs Saunderson said there was a toilet in the walled garden, but that could "only be accessed at times when it was open to the public"Ms Saunderson has urged the authority to open the park's buildings to the public so they can use the loos or provide new facilities.
"There's nothing worse than busting for the loo, but not being able to go due to screaming children who won't leave the playground fast enough so you can make it," she added. Concerns have been raised before about the lack of public lavatories in Sheffield putting people off going out, according to theAlyssa Widdowson previously launched a petition calling for better facilities across the city.
In that petition Ms Widdowson said: "Having no toilets around the city is excluding others that may need to use it more. They may feel more anxious and worried about visiting because of the lack of toilets.
