Hiring portable toilets around Southam

Southam sits in Warwickshire (CV47), inside EventSpeed's launch corridor. Working Warwickshire market town on the old coaching road between Banbury and Coventry, a broad Georgian and Victorian high street over a medieval core, and the site of a real Civil War skirmish two months before the Battle of Edge Hill in 1642.

Welfare planning in the Southam area follows the same national ratios, with one local layer: a scarecrow festival, a food festival and a Christmas market fill the town calendar most years, so local suppliers are as drilled in high-street stalls and barriers as they are in the farmland weddings on the edges of town. Servicing vehicles need the same access as the delivery, so walk the route before you confirm positions in CV47.

PLANNING RATIO

1 toilet per 75 guests without alcohol, 1 per 50 with alcohol, minimum 2. Add 1 accessible unit per 10 standard units, minimum 1.
