Salford came highest in the North West at eighth, closely followed by Manchester and Preston, which came in at 12th and 18th respectively. 

At the bottom of the list placing 68th, with only three toilets per 10,000 people, was Lancaster.

London, Aberdeen and Cardiff were the four loo-sing cities for toilet facilities, with more than 7,300 people per public toilet.

Sian Baker, Head of Wellbeing Services and Registered Nutritional Therapist at Check My Body Health said: “It’s brilliant to see some smaller, often overlooked cities such as St Davids, Chichester and Wells making it into the top ten, as well as some more popular city destinations such as Newcastle upon Tyne and Manchester.

"However, with some cities seeing the equivalent of thousands of people per public toilet, there is definitely plenty of room to improve our access to these facilities."
