A BURY coffee lounge has been given a top award for its No Smoking policy.

Chocoholics Tea and Coffee Lounge in the Millgate shopping centre has picked up the prestigious Gold Roy Castle Good Air Award.

Tony Cunningham, of the coffee lounge, said: "Many of our customers are smokers, but they also appreciate that our policy allows everyone to enjoy their food and drink in a pleasant smoke-free, air conditioned environment."

The premises will appear in the next edition of the Roy Castle Good Air Award Guide to Smokefree Eating and Drinking 2001.
