Hi everyone
Thanks for that one, here is another suggestion they could give free heroin to drug users - like the Swiss are proposing http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article5263748.ece
Perhaps that would reduce the queue for the toilet!

Yorkshire Metro apparently pipe classical music into their toilets, as it generally puts off drug users.

Do not use the UV or blue lights.
(a) it makes it very difficult to see for people with certain visual impairments
(b) it is a waste of time as it does not stop the drug users.

Subject: UV lights in public toilets
A client told me recently that a member of the publi
Hello,
A client told me recently that a member of the public was found to be injecting illegal drugs in the public toilets of their building. To prevent that incident from happening again, the staff put UV lights into the cubicles in the toilets to make it more difficult for drug addicts to see their veins, and prevent their toilets being used for this purpose. The staff were wondering how the colour contrast and lighting would be affected for people with vision impairments.
I have since heard from another organisation that drug addicts sometimes use Tipp-Ex to highlight their veins so that they can inject easily in public toilets, meaning that the UV lights are useless in preventing drug addicts from injecting.
Does anybody have any advice or best practices on this matter?
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Alan.
