Southend-on-Sea City Council is thrilled to announce the completion of three new accessible changing facilities in our City.
The council, in collaboration with Muscular Dystrophy UK and funded through The Changing Places Fund, has successfully installed state-of-the-art accessible restrooms at the following locations:
- Southend Leisure & Tennis Centre
- The Cliffs Pavilion
- The Victoria Centre
These facilities are specifically designed for people with disabilities, including those with learning disabilities, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and other conditions. The amenities go beyond standard accessible restrooms by offering additional features such as adult-sized changing benches, hoists, and ample space for wheelchair users and their carers.
The completion of these Changing Places facilities represents a significant milestone in our City’s commitment to accessibility and convenience. By ensuring equal access for all, we are enhancing the quality of our public spaces. Residents and visitors can now enjoy fully equipped amenities while exploring and enjoying their day out.
