Kingston Council has been criticized for spending £13,000 to convert a toilet block into gender-neutral facilities. This decision coincided with a Supreme Court ruling that defined a woman by biological sex, prompting backlash from critics, including Conservative MPs, who argue it misuses taxpayer funds amid rising council taxes.

Supporters of the conversion advocate for inclusive facilities, while opponents say it overlooks local priorities. Despite the controversy, the council defends the necessity of gender-neutral toilets.
