Lockdown Loo has become a lifesaver for people planning to meet their loved ones in parks.

From March 29, people have been given the green light to meet up to six people outside.

With this in mind, and the weather finally getting warmer, many people are planning on meeting loved ones in their local parks and greens.

However, a lovely day out can be cut short if there are no public toilets around.

With restaurants, cafes and pubs still closed, it makes it hard for people to commit to a socially distanced full day out.

However, a new website has just made everything a lot easier as it sets out to list all the public toilets staying open while lockdown eases.

Lockdown Loo is a website that marks all the open public toilets across the UK, making it easier for you to decide where to head for the day.

The website relies on people submitting toilets they have seen reopen in order to get a clear image for people.

On their website, Lockdown Loo write: "This website is only as useful as the information we are supplied.

"If you know of toilets which are open - whether they are at pubs, stations, cafes or in a public park - please SUBMIT them.

"We are also monitoring council updates and speaking to businesses."

On the website, you can submit a 'loo-cation', or use the interactive Google Map to search for your closest one.

This will become a lifesaver as lockdown slowly eases, allowing people to gather – while socially distancing – in parks and open areas.
