Toilets belong to a hospitable municipality!

Possibilities to go to the toilet belong to a good hospitable reception of a municipality. This means that you have enough toilets for your shoppers, day trippers and tourists. Why are toilets so important?

Patients stay at home

In the Netherlands there are 3.5 million abdominal and bladder patients who regularly stay at home for fear of not finding a toilet.

Elderly

The Netherlands is ageing and the 2.4 million elderly people are living at home for longer periods of time. This group of people often has a weaker bladder.

Store Vacancy

Retail vacancy rates are still growing in many municipalities. A shortage of toilets increases this problem as people do not go shopping or go home sooner.

Better at home

Tourist expats and day trippers also experience the shortage of toilets in the Netherlands where it is often a lot better arranged for them at home.

Step 1

Make all public and open toilets findable

Determine who within the community is responsible for toilets and contact HogeNood.

Together we are mapping which toilets are already available in the HogeNood app. In doing so, we collectively map which public toilets already exist in the municipality.

Then we will look into opening up restrooms located in buildings (semi) managed by the municipality such as the town hall, the library or a sports hall, for example.

All these changes and additions are made under your municipality's account in the HogeNood CMS, so all toilet data is immediately up to date in the HogeNood app.

Step 2

Ask organisations in your municipality to open their toilets!

As a municipality, have you done everything possible to make the supply of public and open toilets findable in the HogeNood app but the supply is still not enough?

We help with the right approach to ask organizations to open their toilets. Among other things, you will obtain various standard documents that help to initiate this process.

All registered toilets of organizations are then automatically linked to the municipality account if desired by both. So you always have insight and a good overview of the supply of toilets in your municipality.

If desired, a window sticker can be placed at these locations for additional recognition of the restroom.

Step 3

Show how hospitable your municipality is when it comes to public toilets!

If these steps are successfully implemented, the supply of public open toilets will undoubtedly have grown tremendously. This can be made known through the media, own social media channels and mention this on their own website.

The municipality's website can refer to the HogeNood app as a means of finding restrooms in the municipality. We also offer the HogeNood iFrame that with a simple technical link provides a map with an overview of all toilets in the municipality (this map is linked to our system and provides a real-time overview).
