Parents hit out after being left 'uncomfortable' by no family cubicle in men's changing room
People in Tameside are calling for a local gym to introduce family cubicles in the male changing room after the current set up left parents and children feeling "uncomfortable."
In a post on a local Tameside community Facebook group, one resident said she'd had a "debate" with the gym about the set up. "The manager says they can't discriminate against single fathers and when they reach 8 the girls are judged old enough to use the female changing room alone. They also said this was Tameside Council's rules not theirs.
However other locals agreed with the resident, with one person commenting: "So they've just catered to the mothers and not the fathers. Doesn't matter if the father is single or not he could just want to spend time with his child. One resident wrote: "Single dad since my daughter was four-years-old. She's been going in the women's toilets on her own for a while now but when she was younger I found it awkward taking her in the men's toilets with me let alone having to put her in a situation like this. It's awkward for the child and also for the men too."
