<p class="style1"><em>"I am not sure which department to contact. Myself and my wife have just had a wonderful holiday in Hastings and on two occasions we used the Public toilets on the front near the fishing huts and the RLNI. The lady who cleans them does an excellent job, they are amongst the best Toilets in the UK. Please pass on our congratulations she deserves some recognition.</em></p>
<p><em>Yours aye&nbsp;<br />Brian &amp; Trudy Sutherland"</em></p>
<p>It is very rewarding when excellent toilet facilities are recognised in this&nbsp;<br />way when all too often the public complain about poor standards. Well done Judy and Hastings Council!</p>]]></description>

<title>Recognising the best toilets for 27 years</title>
<guid isPermaLink="false">loooftheyear_43296</guid>
<pubDate>Thu, 16 Jan 2014 09:18:00 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Nominations and entries are now invited for the 2014 Loo of the Year Awards &ndash; the annual competition to find the best places &lsquo;to go&rsquo; in the UK including The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.</p>
<p>Media interest in public toilets is at high levels as their number has fallen by over 40% in the past decade. However, there are thousands of other &lsquo;away from home&rsquo; toilets entered annually including not only public toilets but toilets in all market sectors (there are 60 entry categories). Entries are invited from all categories and every entry receives an unannounced, dedicated, inspection visit. Entries gaining a bronze, silver, gold or platinum award are presented with a certificate &ndash; to help them promote their Award winning facilities to their customers and staff.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are a range of National and UK awards and trophies for the very best entries which will be presented at the Awards Presentation Event to be held on Friday 5th December at the elegant four star St Johns Hotel in Solihull.</p>
<p>The Attendant of the Year Awards form part of Loo of the Year Awards but relate specifically to the cleaning staff that look after facilities, rather than the loos themselves. All attendants and/or cleaning staff will automatically be entered for an Attendant of the Year Award.</p>
<p>Mike Bone, the Awards Managing Director, said &ldquo;Leading retailers, restaurant and pub chains, visitor attractions, holiday parks, shopping centres, local authorities, and the cleaning /FM sector generally, recognise the annual Loo of the Year Awards as a proven, cost effective and independent annual assessment of the standard of their toilet provision management and receive proper recognition through our annual grading scheme&rdquo;.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Loo of the Year Awards is a private company that is promoted by The British Toilet Association and is run this year in association with sponsors Clos-o-Mat, Danfo, Evolve, Premiere Products and Willings Systems. Further sponsorships will be announced when confirmed.</span></p>]]></description>
