A well-known sex hotspot for men – the Lake Monger toilet block – is set to be demolished by the Town of Cambridge because of ongoing concerns about anti-social behaviour and "beat activity".

The Dodd Street toilets have been the subject of anti-social behaviour for years, but a number of strategies - including closing them, putting locks on the toilets and cutting back nearby shrubbery - had all failed.

Cambridge council even spent $60,000 on lights at the toilet block in May last year in an attempt to try and deter anti-social behaviour and "inappropriate sexual activities".

Now the town has had enough and a committee meeting this week voted to have the dunnies bulldozed and a new one built near a playground at the Dodd and Gregory street end.
