THREE local Wetherspoons pubs are flushed with success after being lauded for their toilets in the Loo of the Year Awards 2024.

The Britannia in Halesowen Street, Rowley Regis has been awarded a platinum plus grading by inspectors and The Moon Under Water in High Street, Cradley Heath and The William Shenstone in Queensway, Halesowen, have each been awarded a platinum grading.

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 bronze, 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.

The Britannia manager, Mitch Tudgay, said: "We are delighted with the grading.

"Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in excellent condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors."

The Loo of the Year Awards 2024 managing director, Becky Wall, said: "The toilets at the three pubs have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pubs deserve their awards."
