Community Toilet Scheme
The Community Toilet Scheme allows visitors with disabilities to access toilets in local businesses displaying a sticker. While the northern New Forest has fewer public toilets, this scheme makes it easier to explore towns and villages with confidence.
We know facilities change regularly. Please let us know of any updates so we can keep this page current for other visitors.
