Just a quick question for anyone who is not on holiday. We have new student halls being built with an accessible toilet on the ground floor for any visitors/students etc who may be visiting the hall but not living in as all the rooms/floors will be accessible. Estates want to keep the door locked with a RADAR key as they feel being the only public toilet it will be abused. 3 of the toilets also house a bath as we wanted to keep a bath available for any student with a need to soak in the bath. The worries are this room will be used for washing rugby boots/housing bikes/ drunk students to be sick in as they come through the entrance door etc etc I can see the point in keeping it locked and not abused but cannot see visitors having RADAR keys or are they more widely used than i thought and if we used our own Hope keys how would visitors know where to get one from for their visitors to use the toilet. Is it better to have an accessible toilet used by everyone and for everything but always open or one that is locked. Would like comments please as off on leave for 3 weeks at lunch time and cannot make a decision with Estates and builders are ready and waiting with RADAR locks. To lock or not to lock..................
