The relative lack of accessible seating and toilets in town has long been a bugbear for local families, especially those living with long-term health conditions. Since the 2012 demolition of the Parliament Street public toilets (fondly named ‘Splash Palace’), it’s been harder for some families to enjoy a day out without worrying about the accessibility issues associated with urgently needing a seat or unplanned trip to the loo. To improve accessibility in York, the ‘For Your Convenience’ scheme is now up and running, which enables children and adults to use the seats and toilets of partner locations, with no obligation to make any purchases. So, next time you’re caught short in town, look out for the ‘FYC’ stickers placed in the windows of venues, and take to your throne without the hassle!
