The Frozen Light PodcastPODCAST SPECIAL- Chatting Changing Places with Zack KerrWe were thrilled to interview Changing Places toilets campaigner Zack Kerr. Zack has been campaigning for more Changing Places at service stations since 2017. In July 2020 it was announced that Changing Places will be compulsory for new buildings in England from 2021. As part of that announcement, the Department for Transport and Muscular Dystrophy UK announced a 1.27 million fund to install 37 more changing places at service stations across England, which means that 87 of Englands 118 service stations will have the facilities in the next few years. Lucy and Amber celebrate this news with Zack!
