A DARVEL pub and restaurant has issued a warning to parents after teenagers allegedly caused damage to its toilets.
The Railway Inn has asked parents in Darvel and the surrounding areas to tell their children not to enter the pub to use its facilities unless accompanied by an adult.
The warning comes after the business reported incidents involving teenagers allegedly misusing the toilets and attempting to sneak into the premises while staff were distracted.
The business claimed that four teenage girls had entered the premises in two separate pairs on Sunday, October 4.
Staff reported finding water splashed around the toilets and soap squirted across the facilities after the teenagers left.
The pub also claimed that sanitary products provided free of charge for customers had been taken.
A spokesperson took to social media to say: "Can we please ask that parents of teens in Darvel and surrounding areas please tell them not to come in to the pub to use the facilities without an adult.
"It's unfortunate that the actions of the few have ruined it for them all but I will not have our premises trashed like this for trying to provide the town with much needed facilities."
The business said it was disappointed to introduce the restriction but felt it was necessary following the incidents.
Parents are now being urged to speak to their children about respecting the pub and its facilities.
