Glasgow woman calls for more Changing Places toilets in public spaces
Jill Clark is speaking to us on Changing Places day about the need for more accessible toilets for people with a disability.
A Glasgow woman with cerebral palsy is telling us she has been forced to miss out on seeing her friends because of a lack of accessible toilets across the city.
Jill Clark is a Changing Places campaigner and wants to see more facilities with hoists and extra space in places like pubs and restaurants.
Speaking to Clyde 1 on Changing Places Day, she said: "Going to the toilet is a basic human right and there should be good quality facilities everywhere.
"Over a quarter of a million people in the UK with a disability need a little extra room to allow them to go to the toilet safely and comfortably.
"It would give people like me a bit more dignity when we go out because we just want to enjoy ourselves like everyone else."
Since beginning her campaigning journey, Jill has persuaded bosses at Clydebank Shopping Centre to install the toilets.
She added: "When I started this campaign, there were just two Changing Places toilets in Glasgow and now there are 24.
"I was delighted to hear the news about Clydebank Shopping Centre as I was in talks with them about it for several years."
