We proudly present the complete ranking of toilet-friendly municipalities of the Netherlands edition 2021!
In total, each municipality could score 1000 points on the basis of specific indicators. The top three have an honoured place in this list, with the first municipality Druten (751 points), the second municipality Losser (746 points) and the third municipality Utrecht (744 points). For residents and visitors, it is great that these municipalities are committed to providing sufficient public and open toilets. Therefore there is a good chance that they can always find a toilet when they urgently need one.
We see a small improvement in the number of municipalities that ended up at the bottom of the list; last year there were no less than 7 municipalities in total. This year there are 5 municipalities that have achieved zero points. These are the municipalities of Rozendaal, Blaricum, Laarbeek, Voerendaal and Waalre. They can still do a lot to make their municipality more toilet-friendly. It would of course be great if in the future they would be prepared to pay more attention to solving the toilet problems in their own municipality.
Objective: to achieve the standard
A good coverage of hygienic and accessible toilets within all municipalities in the Netherlands that meet the standards set by the Toilet Alliance, that is the picture HogeNood and the Toilet Alliance are working towards together. Every Dutch person needs a toilet from time to time. Especially the people who, because of the lack of toilet facilities, are afraid to go out or don't dare to go out at all. This is something that frequently happens to patients with digestive problems, stoma, incontinence, etc. In addition, always having access to a good toilet is good for Dutch health. Among other things, this prevents people from holding their needs and/or drinking less before going out. In other words: for both inhabitants and visitors of municipalities, sufficient, clean and accessible toilets are a great relief! This leaves more time for everyone to enjoy the beautiful, hospitable environment and ambience that a municipality has to offer.
