The Town of Cambridge is planning to splash out $60,000 to light up a Lake Monger toilet block, which is a well-known sex hotspot for men.

At last month's council meeting the city voted to install lighting at the Dodd Street dunnies because of ongoing concerns by locals about anti-social behaviour and "inappropriate sexual activities".

The city shied away from installing CCTV cameras at the lavatories, despite only three of the 56 locals surveyed being opposed to having permanent cameras at the loos.

The council felt it could not justify the $10,000 for the CCTV cameras.
