Several options were discussed and dismissed as there was no funding available. There is not a legal requirement for us to provide disabled toilets in our block and there is a disabled toilet in the church. The septic tank has been emptied and has been given a clean bill of health for another 18 months. The length of lease would be checked by Cornwall Council.
