But they are too few and far between. People with stomach, liver, or intestinal disorders, the elderly, children, and people with disabilities face the same obstacle every day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Where can I actually go to the toilet here?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>All too often, the answer is: somewhere nearby. And those who really need to go don&#8217;t have time to search. A toilet is not a luxury. A toilet is participation. It is being able to walk without fear. It is being able to go to the toilet without stress. It is the freedom to simply be outside.<\/p>\n<p>But in Diemen, there are too few public and accessible toilets, they are difficult to find, and entrepreneurs who do want to help receive little support. The promised practical solutions have yet to materialize.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Those who depend on public and accessible toilets are literally caught <strong>in a bind.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Independent Diemen says: this needs to be better. A welcoming municipality that cares about its residents ensures that everyone can move freely and safely through public spaces. This is stated in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, but above all in common sense.<\/p>\n<p>That is why we are committed to:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One new public and accessible toilet in Diemen every year in the busiest locations.<\/li>\n<li>Clear signage and toilet hospitality stickers that really help people.<\/li>\n<li>Toilet hospitality among businesses, not just in words, but in deeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We want no one in Diemen to have to stay at home because there is no toilet nearby. No resident, no visitor, no child, no elderly person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>A toilet is not a luxury. It is inclusion. It is freedom.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-color:#ffffff;--awb-bg-color-hover:#ffffff;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#00bff9;--awb-border-top:1px;--awb-border-right:1px;--awb-border-bottom:1px;--awb-border-left:1px;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:5.76%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:5.76%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><a class=\"fusion-no-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/en\/your-neighborhood\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Restrooms\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hogenood500-300x300.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-5147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hogenood500-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hogenood500-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hogenood500.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Vote list<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">6<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"297\" title=\"MDLFondsApp\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MDLFondsApp-300x297.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-5505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MDLFondsApp-200x198.png 200w, https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MDLFondsApp-400x397.png 400w, https:\/\/www.opdiemen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MDLFondsApp.png 479w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5320","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Accessible Toilets in Diemen | More Needed<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Diemen needs more accessible public toilets.
