how are allotments funded

[Alison]

I don't see that toilets are a necessity at all. I'd be very annoyed if my site spent good money on a toilet. Men and women are able to pee in a bucket in the shed, and to pour that pee on the compost heap

If you don't need a pee or don't have a shed, there are usually pubs or shops nearby aren't there?

I'm with you on this one and would much rather use a bucket than a grotty communal loo. With the kids thing, don't see the problem, when my god daughter comes to the plot she always comes complete with travel potty which has little nappy like bags that sit in it to catch what ever she produces. No problems at all and she likes being out in the open

and thats fine for little ones but older kids and the school kids would not use a potty

Toilet wise, I have also considered this when looking at an allotment (didn't go for it in the end as I have a wee one and it would take too long to keep it properly maintained alas) as I have Crohn's Disease. Figure I'd need a shed available and to get a camping loo for it (and hope it wasn't nicked!). Handy though they would be to have toilets on site I reckon they'd be a pain to keep clean and maintained properly with so many folks likely then using them!

No, but older kids learn to "try" before they leave the house, and to "hang on" if they feel the need to go

My little nephews & nieces (4, 6, 8 and 11) come to the lotty with me, they manage as well as I do. Once you install a toilet block, you have to have cleaners, because people do not clean up after themselves

we have community and school groups on the site and since the portaloo have been removed the groups have not been down as much parents/teachers seem to reluctant to bring them down now
my two are more than happy to pee on the compost
but others must have antibacterial hand wash hot water and soft loo paper
