New Plymouth toilets bowl over judges
THE city's newest toilets have been awarded top marks in a Loo of the Year competition.
Armada Way toilets, which were reopened earlier this year, have been awarded the platinum standard by the British Toilet Association.
They were described by judges as "excellent new facilities equipped to a high standard and very clean".
The toilets were reopened in April after a major facelift, which included work to update the drainage.

Ground-level facilities for people with disabilities and parents with pushchairs were installed.
To help pay for the cost of the refurbishment, users pay 20p, although people with disabilities can use the toilets on ground level for free provided they have a radar key.
It is estimated about 250,000 customers will pay to use the toilets a year and up to 40,000 disabled customers will visit them. Plymouth City Council runs 24 public toilets.

“Great, nothing worse than having to go in a *****y lavvy, 20p is nothing and well worth it to keep out the kind of scummers that usually trash them.”

“We know that shops like house of Fraser, debenhams, pannier market, the mall, and of course not for getting the restaurants in town have toilets has well, so many places to go but what if you are caught short what do you do run to the nearest place; I don't mind paying the 20p for the toilet it is not has if you go all the time.”
