Islington Council install a Urilift at tube station Farringdon/ Super nightclub The Fabric

Operations Management of Islington’s Street Environment Services:

“Islington Council install a pop-up “Urilift” urinal at the corner of St John St and Cowcross Street. The site is particularly suited for the Fabric queue, and by being visible, will be far better known than the temporary urinals that Islington has been installing on Friday and Saturday nights in the area.

This is a response to years of complaints by local people about the sight, and consequences, of clubbers and drinkers urinating in the street and various alleys off them, and recent efforts to get licensed premises to take more responsibility for their customers.  It is quite normal to see drinkers outside pubs relieving themselves in the street - rather than using the facilities inside which are available to them.”

A spokesman for Westminster City Council commented:
"We have been very pleased with the UriLifts. The immediate areas where they are installed are now far cleaner, and local traders and residents are delighted. There seems little doubt that these units could offer major benefits in many other town and city areas."

A spokesman from Reading Borough Council:
"We looked into a number of options and concluded that the UriLift solution was by far the best. Since their installation in two locations here, we have had far fewer problems, local retailers and the police are happy and the surrounding streets are much cleaner. The UriLift is easy to clean, extremely robust and resistant to vandalism. We are actively considering installing them in other locations in the borough."

Belfast City Council has installed the `UriLift’ with the specific objective of addressing the anti-social problem of public urination by clubbers on their way home after drinking and dancing the night away.

With many public toilets forced to close at nights for safety reasons, these unique `pop’up’ urinals have proven popular with civic authorities in the Netherlands and Denmark, among other countries. The `UriLift’ is seen by an increasing number of public authorities across the United Kingdom and Europe as a unique, hygienic and affordable solution to the problem of public urination.

Lisa Samak, Technical Contracts Officer
"We have been trying to find a resolution to the lack of facilities in Stroud for a while as there are no 24-hour toilets in the town at the moment. "We want to provide 24-hour facilities for people because urination in shop doorways is a problem in Stroud. And if it is well received we're hoping that a female version could be installed at some point." “The Urilift will help to address the problem of revellers relieving themselves on their way home. It'll be brought up at night ready to deal with the night time economy, which is growing in Stroud, and brought back down underground for the daytime. People won't even know it's there,"

The three permanent 'pissoirs' are installed in Newquay to overcome problems of street urination. This follows a trial of three portable 'pissoirs' in an effort to ease anti-social behaviour in the centre of Newquay at night which was very successful and as a result, Restormel Borough Council has installed three permanent pissoirs called 'Urilifts'.

Town Centre Manager Lucy Ball explained:
“We had to take action. In addition to late night drinking, the existing public toilets are closed at night because they were being used for sleeping or drugs. “Working with the police and local pub owners, we concluded that the UriLift, which is being installed right in the town centre where it is most needed, offered the best solution. Fortunately, local surveys indicated that this was also the best location for access to essential utilities.”

Client: Colchester

Cllr Christopher Arnold, Portfolio Holder for Street Services and Waste:
"We are determined to work with the police to eradicate the now-common practice of urination in town centre shop doorways by late-night revellers. The UriLift will help to quell this problem, offering men a public toilet facility after pubs and clubs close up for the night. From now on, there will be absolutely no excuse for this disgusting behaviour.
"I am conscious that not everyone can use the UriLift, so this week we've also let the first contract to start converting existing town centre toilets to 24 hour operation to meet all needs. However, the UriLift will send a very clear message to all that we expect people to respect Colchester's town centre by keeping it clean. Our CCTV cameras will be on the look out for anyone who continues to abuse it in any way. We will name-and-shame if we have to."

Borough Councillor Derek Scudder
"One of the problems we have in the town is people peeing in doorways. "We get quite a lot of complaints from shopkeepers about this. "It's just not very nice. "The evidence suggests it's primarily a male problem. The police really don't want the public toilets open at night because of other problems. "These urinals are reasonably discreet and offer a solution."
