Hi Billy,
You could perhaps try calling your local Health and Safety
people.

Subject: [access-uk] disability bill?
hi guys,
I experienced a really baffling thing last Saturday night. I
took my wife
Anne out for a little Karaoke at our local public house.
The pub in question has just been taken over and refurnished
by it's new
owners.
The new owners have spent a fortune getting the old place up
to scratch,
including putting in a disabled toilet, which I thought was
a really great
Idea. Until I went to use the facility later that evening.
First of all. My good lady had Informed me that the disabled
toilet was
being used by other customers.
I thought at first, she was pulling my leg, but when I went
into the toilet,
I could tell right away, that my wife was quite correct in
what she was
saying.
I was shocked to find the vandals had been in there as
well. There was
no running water, as the water tap was not working, so you
couldn't wash up
after you. Also the toilet bowl was damaged so much so, that
it was
impossible for anyone to sit down and do what ever they had
to do, and of
course I had to try my best to clean up the filthy mess of
Urine sprayed
over the bowl itself.
If that wasn't bad enough, there were piles of bar room
tables and chairs
stored in there as well. I had to plough my way through them
on my way in
and out of the door.
I don't mind telling you all, I was a little shaken, when I
returned to my
wife Anne, so much so, she wanted to complain to the bar
staff there and
then, but I just wanted to try forget about what had just
happened.
I just don't understand why there was not some kind of lock
on the disabled
toilet door. Which would mean any disabled person needing to
use the toilet,
would have to approach the bar staff for a key.
The best of it was. There was another Gents & Ladies toilet
in the bar room.
I'm not really sure if there is anything in the disability
act that would
cover such a problem, but if not there should be.
PS. I tried to get in touch with the manager next day by
telephone, but
there wasn't a phone number available for the public house.
Really annoyed,
Billy & Anne
