MDL Fonds Names Amersfoort ‘WC Capital’ as New App Maps 8,000 Toilets

The findings point to structural shortfalls that limit mobility for many residents.

Overview

  • The nationwide assessment reports widespread gaps in access, with only six or seven municipalities earning a passing score.
  • Amersfoort receives a symbolic award and plans four 24/7 public toilets by mid-2026 plus a fifth facility in the new Huis voor de Stad.
  • Provincial disparities are pronounced, with Friesland leading, Flevoland last, and Noord-Brabant ranked eleventh of twelve.
  • The WC Wijzer app debuts with more than 8,000 mapped locations and provides directions, opening hours and accessibility details for public and opened toilets.
  • Some municipalities contest specific results, as Rozendaal’s deputy mayor says the town hall offers a publicly accessible toilet.
