This quick exercise is designed to complement the more in-depth toilets survey and allow you to take a couple of minutes to think about the building in the Market Yard that includes the Changing Places facility and the (currently closed) public toilets, and toilets in the town centre more broadly.

Frome Town Council are dedicated to providing safe, clean and accessible toilets in the centre of town. As we consider long-term solutions, there are many potential options. Some of the options include refurbishing the interior of the building to install new toilets, reimagining the space to be multi-use with toilets incorporated, or keeping the Changing Places facility while reusing the rest of the space for something else, with adequate toilet facilities provided in the other buildings in the Market Yard e.g. the Cheese and Grain and library. All options we're considering include keeping a fully accessible Changing Places facility in the town centre.

The simple agree/disagree questions below will give us a snapshot of public opinion and will be considered alongside the more in-depth survey responses and what we hear in face-to-face discussions. The order they show up is randomised. For any statements that aren't applicable to you, choose the "Unsure" option.
