Award |
| Westminster

|
Each year the BTA Innovation Awards will recognise one individual,
company, organisation or authority, considered to have contributed
the most effort towards the raising of 'away from home' toilet standards,
over an extended period.
Westminster City Council enter all 32 of their public toilets every
year in the Cannon Hygiene Loo of the Year Awards and were the overall
British winner in 1995, for their improvement campaign - 'the brighter
loos initiative'. They consistently win more Wards each year than
any other Authority. Their toilet cleaning and maintenance contract
specification is probably the most comprehensive available and their
electronic public toilet inspection monitoring system is most impressive.
Not wishing to rest on their laurels and recognising the vitally
improtant service they are providing to millions of visitors to
London every year, they have established a strategy group to examine
a whole variety of new ideas in toilet provision, particularly for
the night time economy.
They deserve fulsome praise and recognition for the example they
are setting other authorities throughout Britain and for the strenuous
efforts being continuously applied to maintain and raise standards.
