Paralympian leads call for all UK sports venues to have fully accessible toilets

Anne Wafula Strike tells ministers that lack of facilities leading to ‘serious injustice’ for disabled athletes and sports fans

Disabled athletes and sports fans are urging ministers to ensure that UK sporting venues have fully accessible toilets so they can enjoy sport in the same way as everybody else. At the moment fewer than 10% of venues have these facilities.

The Paralympic athlete and campaigner Anne Wafula Strike has written to the sports minister, Lucy Frazer, and the disability minister, Tom Pursglove, saying that current facilities are leading to “serious injustice” and are preventing disabled fans and athletes from enjoying sport.
