Seaford Martello Changing Places

*UPDATE – there is still an issue with the lock, and the facilities remain closed, and likely for the next week. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you – 17/04/2025*

 

The Seaford Martello facility is intended for use by disabled people who require assistance of a carer or need extra facilities.

Access can be gained by radar key – PLEASE SEE OUR CONSULTATION BELOW.

What is a Changing Places toilet?

A Changing Places toilet is somewhere private and clean with the correct equipment for disabled adults and children to use when out and about.

How do they differ from a disabled toilet?

Unlike standard disabled toilets, the Changing Places has extra specialist equipment and plenty of space for the user and more than one carer.

What extra equipment is included?
  • A height adjustable changing bed
  • A tracking hoist system – Changing Places toilets DO NOT supply slings, so you will need to bring your own.
  • A centrally placed toilet with room either side for carers
  • Screen for privacy
  • Paper roll to cover the bed
  • Yellow waste bin for disposable pads
  • Non slip floor

Martello Changing Places Facilitiy – Access Consultation

Seaford Town Council would like to receive feedback on its use of the RADAR Key System being used currently at the Martello Changing Places Facility.

When this facility first opened it was accessible via both a RADAR key and a key-code system where members of the public wishing to use the facility were invited to join a membership scheme in order to be provided with the key-code. Following feedback, the key-code access was disabled and from December the Town Council has been trialling the facility being accessible by RADAR key only.

To enable the Town Council to consider the most appropriate access method for this facility going forward, the Town Council wishes to consult with users and potential users of the Martello Changing Places facility on the RADAR key only access and to gather feedback on other access methods.

Your input is valuable in helping us improve the accessibility and security of Martello Changing Places Toilets.
