Notting Hill Carnival 2008

Public toilets

WheelchairToilet locations.

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea provide temporary toilets for Carnival participants and visitors. These consist of chemical toilets and pissoir type urinals. Two permanent manned toilet sites are also open for Carnival.

The Council will provide 270 Chemical Toilets spread across 26 locations and 5 pissoir/urinal type toilets for male visitors. There will also be wheelchair accessible lavatories at all 26 of the Chemical Toilet locations.

To site these toilets some resident bays and Pay and Display bays must be suspended. The Council places prominent parking suspension signs in the affected areas giving residents advance notice of the temporary loss of parking. Once the toilets are in place, the Council will check each site and remove any suspension notices that are no longer needed.

To assist the public to find the toilets over 100 signs are attached to lampposts pointing to the direction of the nearest toilet.

During the Carnival, two officers are employed to monitor all toilets. They ensure the sites are open and are clean. Plumbers are also employed to carry out repairs and ensure the all the appliances function properly.

Toilet Hire UK and the Site Welfare Company Ltd, provide staff for the temporary toilets. These facilities are manned and available between 7am and midnight. The supplier will maintain the Chemical toilets and they will be cleansed every hour.

The two permanent facilities are available from 6am to 10pm and will also have an attendant available. Their role is to keep the toilets secure, clean, ensure all consumables are replenished and that defects are reported for repair. The Pissoir/Urinal facilities will also be monitored.
