Roll of honour for Blair pub toilets in loo awards

-

A Blairgowri­e pub has won acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets in the Loo of the Year Awards 2017.

The Fair O’Blair in Allan Street has been awarded a platinum star rating - the highest award possible.

The awards, celebratin­g their 30th anniversar­y, are aimed at highlighti­ng and improving standards of‘away from home’toilet provision across the UK.

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

All of the toilets are graded from bronze to platinum with unacceptab­le toilets not graded at all.

The platinum rating is given only to outlets which offer exceptiona­l toilets.

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

The Fair O’Blair, a Wetherspoo­n pub, is managed by Michelle Milne.

Michelle said:“We are delighted with the award. Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in first-class condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors.”

The Loo of the Year Awards 2017 managing director, Mike Bone, said:“The toilets at The Fair O’Blair have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

“The pub richly deserves its platinum award – the highest individual award the judges can deliver.”
