Harrogate mum finds disabled toilets in 'disgusting state'
A Harrogate mum wants to warn others after her disabled son found litter and used needles on the floor of a locked disabled toilet in the town centre.

The mum who sent in the pictures would not like to be named but said her 21-year-old son with
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) was shocked to discover the state of the toilets.
Disabled toilets like the one in the car park are only accessible to those with a RADAR Key. However, it's easy to purchase such a key online without any verification.
The Stray Ferret sent in pictures of the toilets to Harrogate Borough Council, which runs the toilet. We did not receive a response by the time of publication.
