A FLINTSHIRE pub has once again been rewarded for the quality and standards of its toilets – in the Loo of the Year Awards.

The Market Cross in High Street, Holywell, has been awarded a platinum plus rating by inspectors.

The pub has previously been recognised at the awards ceremony which is aimed at highlighting and improving standards of 'away from home' toilet provision across the UK.

Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the UK, in order to judge them.

All of the toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus or diamond with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The toilets are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.
