Our petition is to improve the size and facilities of diabled toilets as we feel the size is unaceptable, and the guidelines need changing for sizes. We want to have at least 1,000 signatures, so if you are a wheelchair user or know someone that is, we would encourage you to sign this petition as we need this changed!!!! Thanks Whizz Kids Canterbury

The stories coming in about the current lack of space in these facilities are infuriating and prove why we need these new guidelines. Contact your local representatives today to demand they prioritize accessible toilet dimensions. Post this link to your Facebook timeline to keep the pressure on.

We hit our first big milestone and the momentum is building faster than we expected. Call your local representative today to tell them why these size standards are failing our community. Post the link to your Facebook feed right now so we keep this pressure on the people in charge.

its honestly a joke how small these rooms are. trying to maneuver in a chair is impossible in most places. fix the rules already!!

My son uses a chair and we can never find a space where both of us fit. Its basic human dignity to have enough room.

About time someone looked at this. The guidelines are way out of date and don't match the size of modern equipment at all.

Totally agree. Cant believe this is still an issue in 2017.

Finally!! Been waiting for someone to bring this up. Some of these toilets are basically closets. So frustrating.
