ALLOTMENT holders will not receive the toilet facilities they have requested after Epping Town Council decided it would cost too much money.
During the last two years the allotment plots in tyhe town have increased in popularity with more young women hiring out the vegetable patches.
The council was asked to provide toilets but the allotments already create a loss of £5,000 each year for the councilm and it is estimated that providing toilets at the two allotment sites - in Lower Bury Lane and Meadow Road - would cost over £20,000.
Maintenance and cleaning would add even more to the cost.
