The Community Toilet Scheme is funded and managed by Conwy County Borough Council and allows the public to use toilet facilities in approved local businesses during their opening hours.
Businesses who sign up to the scheme agree to make their toilets available to the public free of charge without any expectation that users will make a purchase or use their services.
