Glastonbury introduces 'stink-free super toilets'

Glastonbury Festival-goers will enjoy a stink-free bathroom experience this year, festival organisers say, thanks to new £600,000 "super loos".

Organisers are planning to phase out the portable toilets with almost 5,000 long-drop and composting toilets at the site instead.

Festival organiser Michael Eavis admits he is excited about the new toilets, which will not require emptying during the festival.

The festival takes place next weekend.

"We're always improving stuff but the great thing for me, funnily enough, is the loos," Eavis says.

Each of the 31 locations costs £20,000 but Mr Eavis went on to say that this expenditure will bring an end to odour the usually comes with festival toilets.

"There's no smell, a huge capacity - it's a fantastic achievement. It's fundamentally a huge improvement," he says.

The long-drops, which account for 2,088 of the site's toilets this year, will also take waste from showers and washing up.

Waste from the long-drops will be emptied and disposed of after the festival, though it is hoped compost from the composting toilets will fertilise Worthy Farm for two years.

Arcade Fire, Kasabian and Metallica headline the festival which takes place 25-29 June.
