Comfort Break Scheme

Public Toilets - Comfort Break Scheme
Fife Council

Fife Council has launched a Comfort Break Scheme which, with the co-operation of local businesses, will enable members of the public to access the toilet facilities of participating businesses. A similar scheme is already successful in neighbouring authorities.

The scheme will provide a service that complements existing council facilities. The businesses, who wish to participate, will receive payment throughout the year that will be graded to reflect availability, compliance with health and safety, standards, accessibility and the hours of opening of their facilities.

Businesses will benefit from a potential increase in custom through increase footfall in their premises and they will also have the additional benefit by way of publicity through Fife Council as a Comfort Break Scheme location.

The scheme follows a comprehensive review of the publicly available toilets. During this period, it was established that members of the public were generally dissatisfied with some of the existing council facilities on offer. The condition of the toilets did not meet customer expectations, and the users - particularly women - would seek to use alternative facilities such as cafes and restaurants.

We:
• have created an administrative system for registering businesses and processing quarterly payments
• carry out periodic inspections of participating businesses making sure that they meet Fife Council's criteria
• display external signage directing the public to participating businesses
• update our website on locations of participating businesses

To find out more about the scheme view our FAQs. Businesses can apply to join the scheme using the e-service.
