This is a bit of a delicate question, but if I can't ask it here then where can I?
We are fortunate enough to have 3 toilets on our site, men's and ladies outside and a disabled one inside the pavilion. Recently, someone has been using the disabled one and not cleaning it after them. I am not squeamish about handling cow and horse manure but draw the line at cleaning up after plotholders.
What would you do about it?
Put a big sign up on each door saying that everyone is responsible for the cleanliness of all the toilets(pointing out someone did a whoopsy in the disabled-time and date),and if anyone does a whoopsy when using any of the toilets to clean it up or if they cannot manage to to inform someone to give them a hand to clean it up,that is if there is cleaning facilities available
Lock it and give any disabled allotment holders their own key ;)
When you say "not cleaning it", you mean not flushing, not using the bog brush, or something else?
I would go for putting a sign up saying "Please leave these facilities in the state you would wish to find them from the committee" and leave a bog bush and some toilet cleaner in clear view. Nobody would want to be named and shamed for leaving that sort of mess so, hopefully by highlighting that the committee have noticed, the offender will clean up after themselves.

I mean not brushing. On Saturday I had to clean it with a brush so I left the brush in front of the toilet, hoping that whoever it was would get the message. Some hope. When I went back later, the brush had been moved to the side, but not used.
I think I know who it is. He has mild learning difficulites and can be quite
difficult to deal with. We have decided to put a lock on the door.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
You are all lucky you have toilets! The time on my allotment is governed by how long I can last. I wish we had some put in our site.

Me too, there's nothing like digging with your legs crossed lol :o :o :o :o :o :o
It's called "the two gate drive dash and hope" up on ours! Run down the drive, unlock and relock the lottie gate, unlock the main gate outside, get in car, relock main gate, drive home and hope there's no one resident in there! ;D

Ive learned to pee discreetly in a plastic container behind the compost bin, dilute and then fertilize the cabbages. Need a pot from an expensive yoghurt and baggy trousers. Should be easier when the runner beans grow.
YOUR LUCKY TO HAVE LOO'S WE HAVE TO RUN HOME HEE HEE AS HAVE COUNCIL LOTTIES, R THEY SUPPOSED TO SUPPLY A LOO?
I am so grateful I have a shed now with an inside latch!
After reading some of your replies I'm almost embarrassed to admit that we have THREE toilets on the site - Ladies, Gents and Disabled.
I don't know why we are so lucky, but I am very grateful! :)
We have no loos - or any other amenities come to that. On the plus side, each plot is surrounded by lovely high hedges. ;)
