Re: Access to disabled toilets
Hi Bill
The special key to access disabled toilets is a radar key.
Some local NHS services have access to the radar keys, or you can contact a national charity called Bladder and Bowel UK. The Bladder and Bowel UK Team at Disabled Living have a helpline telephone which is 0161 607 8219
