16 community-minded businesses on Kilburn High Road are in a new leafletoffering their loos to customers and non-customers alike. We thank each of these businesses. This practical improvement particularly benefits the 20% of people who don’t go out as often as they’d like because they need a loo.

Volunteers organised by KOVE asked 60 cafes, pubs etc. 90% of businesses are happy for anyone to use their loos, even if not on the leaflet due to fears of anti-social behavior.

KOVE followed up with its annual World Toilet Day protest, a procession down the High Road with 30 people holding placards made in art workshops calling for further improvements, including a toilet for Grange Park. KOVE and others will continue to raise the human rights and public health issue of access to toilets, particularly as Camden is currently working on its Toilet Strategy.

Printed leaflets are available at venues including Kilburn Library Centre, some One Kilburn meetings or from Michael.Stuart6@gmail.com.
