“They are located right at the heart of the town centre and provide a fantastic range of facilities to meet the needs of visitors.

“I would like to pass my thanks on to everyone involved in maintaining these public conveniences.”

They are usually open seven days a week between 9am and 5pm, except Thursday and Saturday (market days), when they are open 8.30am to 5.30pm.
Due to the pandemic the opening hours are slightly different.
The Loo of the Year Awards are run independently and were first established in 1987.
