AN OLDBURY pub is flushed with success this week after being lauded for its toilets in the Loo of the Year Awards 2014.

The Court of Requests, Church Street, clinched a platinum star rating by inspectors.

Authorised inspectors make unannounced visits to hundreds of toilets at sites across the UK, in order to judge them.

The toilets are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.

The Court of Requests, a Wetherspoon pub, is managed by Anna Haraszkiewicz.

She said: "I am delighted with the award. Staff at the pub work hard to ensure the toilets are in first-class condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors."

The Loo of the Year awards 2014 managing director, Mike Bone, added: "The toilets at The Court of Requests have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pub richly deserves its platinum award ? the highest individual award the judges can deliver."
