Overview

It’s been reported that there are no public toilets today in Newcastle. If trends continue, public toilets will be extinct in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Preston, Manchester, Salford, Lancaster, Birmingham, Plymouth by 203

We have lost 50% of our public toilets in the last 10 years. In 37 areas in the country, major councils no longer run any conveniences. Access to toilets is often seen as a marker of a healthy society. Ours is failing; the lack of amenities is having a detrimental impact on our health and exacerbating social inequality.

In this webinar, hosted by the ICE Bristol City Club, Alicia de Haldevang, principal sustainability and equalities consultant at Stantec, will break down the statistics and state of our public amenities, the impact of closures on our economics, health, and environment, how climate change will make this worse, and how we address this from an urban design perspective.

It is an opportunity to improve awareness on health and equalities topics, urban design, and transport amenities.

The talk will be followed by the ICE Bristol City Club AGM (online). Delegates are welcome to dial onto the talk only part, if you are interested in getting involved in the ICE Bristol City Club Committee, please contact our Co-Chairs:

Co-chairs, Phoebe Clayson-Lavelle and Will Hooper.

Alicia De Haldevang

Alicia is principal sustainability and equalities consultant at Stantec. Her work revolves around making our places and spaces greener, more inclusive, and healthier, in the face of climate change. She is obsessed about climate change impacts on our health, equalities, infrastructure, energy, and daily lives, and how we need to embed these into all decision-making and design.

She is particularly interested in the equity, social sustainability, and climate resilience of our spaces - from playgrounds and parks to active travel routes, and what we need more of in our public realm, including toilets, shelter from weather, inclusive design principles, safety, and measures to reduce urban heat island effects. She has spent over 24 years in the Middle East and knows what extreme heat stress feels like.
