Changing Places Case Study: Silloth Green

Accessible Tourism

Thanks to funding via the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), RISE has installed a modular Changing Places toilet on Silloth Green.

The Green is one of the largest in the North of England, boasting spectacular views over the Solway Firth. With tourism being one of the mainstays of Silloth’s economy, the newly registered facility will play a key role in making the town more accessible and no doubt financially benefit a host of local businesses.

Turnkey Delivery

Having explored alternate venues for a Changing Places, including the town’s motorcycle museum, Silloth Town Council decided that a modular facility on the Green was the ideal location. Following a competitive tender process, RISE was awarded a contract for the turnkey delivery a new modular facility, complete with groundworks.

The facility is a standard RISE CP Pod, fully built offsite at our Doncaster premises. It features a host of specialist mobility equipment, such as ceiling track hoist system and height adjustable changing bench, as well as the required space and layout to be required as a Changing Places.

Custom finished in silver grey cladding with a bold blue violet door, the modular pod was complete within a few weeks and installed into position onto foundations, prepared by the RISE team. The facility was connected and commissioned within a few hours, before handing over to a happy client.
