Councillors have voted against placing toilets on a new allotment site, with one member calling for the facilities to be removed from all allotment sites. Members of Andover Town Council’s Allotment Committee voted on Wednesday against putting a portaloo on the new Ox Drove allotment site, which is set to be handed over by developers of Picket Piece in the coming months. Councillors raised concerns that doing so would be ‘a waste of money’ at present, as the toilets can not be used during Covid, amid wider concerns of “prohibitive” costs of putting the toilets on smaller sites. The allotments committee discussed a number of new allotment sites from developments across Andover at the meeting on April 14. Firstly, Cllr Nick Matthews said that new allotments near Saxon Heights would be available for use earlier than expected, with an aim of September.
