SDC - Changing Places Toilets

The Changing Places Toilet is a badly needed project for Stratford District Council and will see the first Changing Places facility within a shopping area in the District. The Council has now been fortunate to receive funding to cover construction and 3 years of use. Consultation has been undertaken with key stakeholders and the need for a Changing Places facility is clearly apparent. The core purpose of the Changing Places facility is to provide a more accessible, inclusive environment for all user groups. The inclusion of the facility will help to improve the quality of life for a number of people and will help to create a safe and secure environment in which people with disabilities feel comfortable. The location of the Changing Places facility is a pivotal aspect in achieving a more accessible town centre and ensuring every resident of and visitor to, Stratford feels part of the community. The Contractor shall be responsible for the design and construction of the Changing Places facility, including enabling works, construction of 'Shop Front', external works, service connections, commissioning and gaining statutory authority approvals (excluding planning approval). The scope of the contract is primarily to provide a Changing Places facility within Stratford Town Centre. The design of the facility must be in accordance with Changing Places requirements and the Changing Places Consortium, in addition to Building Regulations.
