Wall-Mounted Changing Bench Installed in Accessible Toilets in Kayl

The Municipality of Kayl has announced the inauguration of Luxembourg's first wall-mounted folding bench in the accessible toilets at the Schungfabrik cultural centre.

This wall-mounted bench, inaugurated on 26 June 2021, is designed to allow dependent disabled people to get changed with dignity in public toilets.

The Municipal Administration of Kayl lamented that a petition (no. 1673) launched by Fernand Boria, whose daughter Serena is disabled, calling for the installation of such benches in accessible public toilets across Luxembourg, failed to garner enough signatures for debate.

Nevertheless, the municipality decided to install a wall bench at Schungfabrik in order to raise awareness and create a more inclusive society for people with disabilities. The municipal administration has invited other municipalities and organisations to follow its example.
