It was developed in partnership with PAMIS, a charity working with people with profound learning disabilities and their families, and the Stirling Area Access Panel to ensure best practice was captured in the design.A growing network of Changing Place toilets across Scotland and the United Kingdom can be viewed on the official map which logs these specialised facilities.Chair of the Stirling Area Access Panel, Robert Dick said: “We are pleased to have worked so collaboratively on the provision of a Changing Places Toilet for a second time, which the council has so generously funded for Aberfoyle.“There is still a need for further Changing Places toilets in Stirlingshire and we do hope that there are more to follow.”Stirling Council’s community wellbeing and housing convener Councillor Gerry McGarvey said: “This Changing Place facility is an important addition to Aberfoyle and responds to the needs and wishes of the local community and visitors.“We want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy the stunning surroundings of the Stirling area.
