Keep disabled toilet at Red Lion public house in Mangotsfield, Bristol
Marstons Brewery have given the go ahead to dismantle a disabled purpose built toilet to a kitchen to sell food. The village has a Marstons pub less that 150 yards away which sell food, a Chinese takeaway, an Indian takeaway, a burger/pizza takeaway, another pub near tescos and 2 shops, tesco and premier all of which food can be purchased from.
People who have physical and learning disabilities have been using this pub for the last 8 years and with no thought or consultation with them they are going ahead and ripping out the facilities for disabled people therefore disempowering them from using the pub ever again!
This petition is too speak out for all those disabled people who can no longer use this facility as they need carers with them at all times ( the ordinary toilet cannot facilitate a carer and a disabled person) so I would like u to join me in supporting them have a voice to say NO to a kitchen and YES to disabled people being able to continue to be part of society ... Thank you for your support

Adults with learning disabilities have been going to this pub for many years, its not right that they are being excluded due to the restrictions.
not very good to have restrictions with accessing a disabled toilet,if its there it should be available to venerable adults to access freely.......and the fact that residents spent their money in the pub and r unable to access the facilitys that suit their needs.....where is the customer service here
Due to this petition I have since been informed by the manager of the pub he would prefer it if I stayed out the pub as I'm clearly not happy! Well actually Andy & Christine Rockcliffe, NO IM NOT HAPPY. People with disabilities are excluded enough and know it's time to make sure the people I support like thousands of other carers are heard on behalf of the people who are unable to do it themselves
Completely unfair to the people who have been using this pub for years and go there weekly and need the disabled toilet as they need to be supported by carers and the normal toilet cubicles are no way big enough now if this continues they will no longer be able to go to this pub where they enjoy socialising with other regulars and have done do for many years!
why take this toilet out stopping disabled people enjoying there drink at red lion its a disgrace u must have a disabled toilet with room for disabled and carer if needed
Unfair, selfish decision
always about making money

Pubs should be a place where all adults in society can go. Taking away the disabled toilet is a barrier which will prevent previous loyal customers from not being able to use the pub. If the landlords feels the Red Lion would benefit from a kitchen then build one upstairs and leave the disabled toilet alone. The landlords seem resolute on the plans and I would urge them to speak to their customers who have disabilities and explain to them why their establishment will be no longer be suitable for them. Be aware landlords you will see a lot of upset faces. Your customers you no longer want have been socialising at the Red Lion way before you popped up. Let’s hope community spirit prevails over money.
