Ban charging people to use public toilets
I would like the UK Government or Parliament to ban places charging people to use public toilets. I believe everyone should have free access to use public toilets.

Background
I believe going to the toilet is a basic human right that should not be denied to anyone just because they have no cash on them to pay to go to the toilet. Furthermore, I feel it would be cruel to deny people access to using public toilets if they didn't have any money on them, especially if they were in an emergency, such as a period emergency. For example, I believe a woman should never be denied the opportunity to change her sanitary towel just because she had no cash to use public toilets.
