This is just down the road from me and it's where I often shop. In fact, I'm going there tomorrow. Appalled by this! I'm sure men had cubicles in their loos so why the change? Why is it always women asked to budge up to make toilets more inclusive!? Glad to see lots of men are objecting to this too!

I have written to the MP for the area and copied my MP in.

As far as I know if they provide facilities for men, they need to provide them for women too. Otherwise they're discriminating. Worth checking and complain if that's correct.

I can't be sure but I always presumed men had cubicles in their loos. Seems odd that they might not have done. Is this normal? Anyway it's against the Equality Act 2010. Women have to have separate provision.

it is ALWAYS the women's that get changed to mixed sex or 'gender neutral' (which usually just means they have changed the sign on the door, rather than making self contained units with wash basins and sanitary bins)

The article says they have turned the ladies' loos into a unisex facility to ensure everyone has access to a cubicle

Not sure what this actually means? Surely male people had cubicles in the mens? Have they also increased their provision of accesible toilets?

I'm presuming because the men's also have urinals whereas the woman's is fully cubicles therefore no building work needs to take place
