We have a composting toilet, a "club house", a shop, a skip and running
water with a tank and standpipe every three plots. We pay £32 a year, but
that may increase in April when this year's rent is due.

Kathy, please can you give me a brief description of your composting
toilet? Our committee were aghast when I suggested such a thing.
They are talking of the cost of installing a proper flushing toilet.
Then they suggested an Elsan type and someone asked who would clean
it. They still weren't convinced when I said the composting goilet
would not need much cleaning.
Can you give me some pointers please?
I'm thinking of installing my own on a small scale. It's OK for the
men!!!
TIA

Does this help, Pam?

A possibility is this

but who will dispose of the sealed bags and where?

Thanks Martin.
The type of composting toilet I envisage is one using straw bales
which eventually break down to compost which goes on the allotment.
