Dalton Park is best place to spend penny

A major shopping centre in County Durham is also one of the best places in the country to spend a penny.

Dalton Park has won the Eco Friendly Toilet category at the national Loo of the Year Awards.

The facilities were praised following an independent, unannounced visit from judges and this is the 16th time that the outlet shopping centre has been recognised in the awards, which aim to recognise and reward the very best washrooms in the country.

Dalton Park’s toilets were assessed against established judging criteria, including how energy efficient and environmentally friendly they are.

They were fully refurbished as part of the centre’s multi-million revamp in 2017.

This award comes off the back of Dalton Park retaining its status as one of the safest car park’s in the country after winning the national Park Mark award for the 14th consecutive year.

Jerry Hatcher, centre manager at Dalton Park, said: “We are delighted that our toilet facilities have once again been recognised in the Loo of the Year Awards.

“We pride ourselves on giving each and every shopper who comes here a fantastic experience and our new environmentally friendly facilities have proven to be a great asset to the outlet.

“Our facilities team is dedicated to making every aspect of the centre the best it can be and this award is more proof that we’re getting it right!”
