Top award for Callander public toilets
Stirling Council is delighted to have won a National Loo of the Year Award in the search to find the best ‘away from home’ toilets in the UK.
The Council’s in-house cleaning team has picked up a National 5-Star Grade 2012 Award for the Callander Station Road public toilets.The Loo of the Year Awards have been identifying the best in Britain since 1987 and are recognised as standard setters for all those who provide ‘away from home’ facilities for customers and visitors.
Last year an authorised Loo of the Year Inspector made an unannounced visit to the Callander toilets in September to assess them against 100 judging criteria – including signage and décor, fixtures and fittings and overall standards of cleanliness and management. The Callander toilets received a top 5 star grading and were short listed for, and won a National Award.Stirling Council Portfolio Holder with responsibility for Facilities Management Councillor Scott Farmer said: “Congratulations to the team on winning this top award. The team do an outstanding job to keep our public toilets clean and welcoming for the many visitors and tourists who come to Callander each year.”
1334 entries were received this year, across the sixty separate entry categories of the competition, with many first times entries from establishments joining increasing number of providers who submit their toilet facilities for an annual, independent assessment.
The 2011 Awards were sponsored by Airdri, The British Cleaning Council, the Changing Places Consortium, Clos-o-Mat, Vectair and Wallgate and are supported by the four national tourism bodies in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
