As non-essential retailers reopen across England, questions remain about how shoppers will access toilets as restaurants are still shut and many public facilities remain closed.

Some councils we've heard from on this are:

• Birmingham - where toilets will not open until next month
• Liverpool - where a "limited number" of public loos are available
• Westminster - where all facilities excluding Broadwick Street and Soho are open
• York - where all facilities are open

A spokesman for the Local Government Association said: "Councils will be taking individual local decisions about public toilets based on a risk assessment and whether social distancing measures can be maintained."
