Dec 16 2008 Chester Chronicle

CHESTER Zoo is flushed with success after scooping a top award for its toilets.

The award-winning zoo has been named best leisure attraction in England for its main entrance toilets in the Loo of the Year awards.

This is the second year running that the main entrance facilities have been given an award. Last year, the main entrance toilets received a five-star gold award.

The main entrance toilets were given an overhaul as part of the New Beginnings project which saw a revamp of the main entrance at the start of last year.

Liz Thwaite, Head of Visitor Services, said: “We do all that we can to ensure the zoo experience is a great day out from beginning to end.

“The attention to detail extends to every service that we offer our visitors from the animal enclosures they visit, to the restaurants they dine in and, as the awards prove, all the other facilities our guests use. We are delighted to have been given this award.”

The Loo of the Year awards were set up in 1987 with the aim of highlighting the best possible standards in all types of ‘away from home’ toilets.
