PUBLIC toilets in Droitwich and the district are better than other bog-standard facilities.

They were named amongst the best in the country after cleaning up at the British Toilet Association's Loo of the Year Awards.

Wychavon District Council couldn't "loos" when the area's pan-tastic toilets ranked amongst the top three in the land and gained a Standard of Excellence Award.

This is an award to councils that have entered ten or more public toilets and received five or more five star ratings.

Wychavon was presented with five five star awards, six four star awards and one three star award for the 12 public toilets it has.

Executive board member for environment, councillor Terry Spencer, said: "Often the toilets are the first thing visitors to Wychavon actually see so it's important we get this right."
