Hi all,
I understand that fellows like us may be able to get a radar key & a card which explains we've a medical condition and need to use a loo.
I'm 6 weeks to surgery for an LRP. When I've gotta go, I really have to go. I've had a few accidents already when I just can't get to a loo quick enough due to ques etc. Also I'm thinking post RP I'll need to change pads & clean myself up etc & these facilities are better suited. Maybe even having a bin to dispose of them too.
Anyone any advice?
Many thanks.
Carlos

I went to my local council office and asked for a key and it was issued, FREE !
I also carry the PCC blue card, it stands out better than the new black one.
Good luck.
Chris.
