Causeway Coast and Glens is the third worst out of 398 local areas
Northern Ireland is amongst the best and worst for baby-changing facilities in the United Kingdom, a new study has shown.
Ards and North Down Council was the sixth worst - out of its 39 public toilets, it also only had one baby changing facility, at 2.6 percent. The worst was the Shetland Islands, which had no facilities in its 27 public toilets - that is 0 percent. Toilet Map defines public toilets as “all toilets that the public can access without needing to be a customer. This includes public toilets, toilets in train stations, bus stations, service/petrol stations, tube stations, ferry terminals, airports and other transport networks.
“Indeed, parents and carers are near the back of the queue when it comes to getting decent access to public bathrooms. The lack of baby-change public toilets is so drastic that it has created tension with people who use accessible toilets due to disability and driven other parents to extreme lengths like changing a nappy on a cafe table.
