Situated in the heart of Truro city centre, the Green Street Public Toilets provide an important accessible facility for both residents and visitors exploring Cornwall’s capital. Located close to Truro Cathedral, Lemon Quay, local shops, cafes and public transport links, the facility supports accessibility within one of the city’s busiest public areas.
Delivered as part of a council-led project, the installation helps ensure people with complex disabilities can comfortably spend time in the city without accessibility becoming a barrier to visiting, shopping or socialising.
Accessible Facilities in the Centre of Truro
As a popular destination for shopping, tourism and events, Truro welcomes thousands of visitors throughout the year. Having a centrally located Changing Places toilet gives disabled people and their carers access to the specialist equipment and space needed to safely use toilet facilities while away from home.
The Green Street facility supports more inclusive access across the city centre and helps improve confidence for families, carers and individuals visiting Truro for the day.
What’s Inside: Our Specification
Within the Changing Places toilet at Green Street Public Toilets, Truro, we installed:
-
- Astor OT200 Ceiling Track Hoist, providing safe, smooth and reliable transfers
- Astor Invincible Changing Table, designed for strength, durability and user comfort
- Astor ABW-CP Height Adjustable Wash Basin, supporting both user and carer access
- KwickScreen Privacy Screen, offering flexible privacy within the space
The facility also includes a peninsular WC, grab rails and sufficient circulation space, ensuring it meets the requirements of a fully compliant Changing Places installation.
Supporting Inclusive Tourism & Public Spaces
Public Changing Places toilets play a vital role in enabling people with complex disabilities to participate more fully in community life.
For many families and carers, access to a suitable facility directly impacts whether day trips, shopping visits or social activities are possible. By providing a centrally located Changing Places toilet, Truro helps remove barriers for disabled visitors and creates a more welcoming city centre experience for everyone.
This installation also supports Cornwall’s wider accessibility ambitions, helping improve confidence for disabled tourists visiting the region.
Accessibility Within Existing Public Infrastructure
Council-led public toilet refurbishments often present unique challenges, including existing building constraints, limited footprints and high daily usage demands.
This project demonstrates how specialist equipment and thoughtful layout planning can successfully transform a public facility into a safe, dignified and compliant Changing Places environment without compromising usability or aesthetics.
