    Located on Hoprig Road, this toilet is an accessible and free public convenience. It is certainly not the most luxurious toilet I have been in, but it is far from the worst.

    The entrance to the accessible toilet is located up a short ramp, which has rails on either side. The door opens outwards, which isn't great when you're using a mobility aid.

    Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance

    I travelled to this place by personal vehicle

    There is on-street parking outside, but it is a mostly residential area, so there are no marked bays. The closest bus stop is 160 metres away on Edinburgh Road.

    Accessible facilities: Public or on street parking

    A RADAR key is required to unlock the outward-opening door. The door is secured from the inside by raising the handle. The toilet is on the rear wall and has contrasting grab rails on either side and a shelf to the right when seated. There is a small bin in the right-side transfer space, but it does not prevent transfer. The red emergency cord is also on the right and hangs to the floor. Although it is tied at the top to another piece of string, I am not sure I would trust it not to snap. The sink has a small basin with lever-style hot and cold taps and contrasting rails on either side. A paper towel dispenser is located just above.

    Facilities: Accessible toilet
