"Real investment" is needed in Britain's public toilets as they are diminishing "at a very rapid rate", says the British Toilet Association.

Its director, Raymond Martin, said there has been an estimated 40% drop in the number of public toilets across the UK in the last 10 years, in part because of the business rates levied on them - and that many of those left have fallen into neglect.

Access to a "clean, hygienic" public toilet is "a basic human right", he said, in a Soapbox film for the Daily Politics.
