Toilet turnstiles coin counters can provide a useful audit trail

An investigation conducted by BBC Wales has found businesses in many parts of Wales are stepping into the breach as the number of public toilets decreases. Gwynedd has 86 traditional public toilets, as well as 36 premises offering use of their ‘loos’ under an assembly government scheme to encourage businesses to open up to the public. On the other hand, Torfaen, a much smaller local authority, has just seven conveniences and has not signed up to the scheme.

Time and Attendance Wales offers coin operated toilet turnstiles as a means for both local authorities and private companies to provide public conveniences to a good standard and generate revenue for their general upkeep. The coin mechanism can be programmed for virtually any combination of coins with a secure cash box to hold the coins. High security options are available with additional counters to count the number of entries made. This along with the coin count can provide a useful audit trail and can identify when peak visiting times occur.
