CP toilets provide sanitary accommodation for anyone with multiple and complex disabilities, allowing disabled people and their assistants to stay out for longer and participate in more activities.

The facilities are fully accessible with a height-adjustable changing bench and hand basin, a hoisting system and a peninsular toilet, with enough space for the disabled person, a wheelchair and two carers.

“ Having modern, new facilities at the Saddlers Shopping Centre which are more centrally located and accessible to all is a great plus for us.  We are committed to offering local Walsall people a clean and welcoming environment to visit and we enjoy hosting visitors and seeing them return week on week. “  announced Centre Manager, Melvin Glasby as he welcomed Councillor Andrew to open the facilities this week.

The facilities at the Saddlers Centre can be found at Bradford Mall, adjacent to the escalators from Park Mall. They are accessible via an intercom which connects to the Saddlers Centre’s main control room.
