Changing Places toilets are being installed in both Nuneaton and Bedworth, this month.
The toilets are due to be delivered in the next few days so that installation work can be carried out at Pingles Leisure Centre, Nuneaton, and at Bedworth Market.
Changing Places toilets are larger accessible ‘pod’ toilets designed specially for severely disabled people, with equipment such as hoists, privacy screens, adult-sized changing benches, peninsula toilets and space for carers to support those with complex needs.
The £150,000 initiative is supported by national charity Muscular Dystrophy UK, alongside the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund provided by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council Leader, Cllr Kris Wilson, said:
“Ensuring that everyone has dignity in the face of physical limitations is essential to opening up our towns to everyone.
"These facilities are so important, as they help people limited in their own mobility to access appropriate, safe and maintained equipment which is on site and available for them to get to the toilet or get changed.
“Changing Places toilets are opening up locations to disabled people right across the country and I am delighted that work is about to start in Nuneaton and Bedworth so we will be fully accessible to all too.”
