A MOVE to demolish a loo with “the best view in Sydney’’ has been panned by irate locals.
Residents say the 100- year-old toilet block near the Lavender Bay jetty is of historical significance and should be saved.
The push to save the loo has included sending North Sydney councillors a protest note on toilet paper.
The council is proposing to spend either $150,000 on refurbishing the toilet block or demolishing it and building a new dunny at a nearby location at a cost of $300,000.

Nearby resident and artist Peter Kingston said the council was flushing money down the toilet.
“The existing toilet block might be a bit smelly but it has its merits and it’s historically important – it was built before the Harbour Bridge,’’ he said.
Mr Kingston said about 50 residents at a recent Lavender Bay precinct meeting voted overwhelmingly to save the toilet block.

Instead, they want the council to give the brick edifice a makeover, including a new tiled roof.
Mr Kingston claimed the council favoured building a new toilet block only metres from the existing one.
He said the council argued that the toilet block, which occupied about nine square metres, interrupted the view of the harbour and Harbour Bridge for people walking along the Lavender Bay foreshore.
Funny as.... thread, icy Hahaha
Always good to have toilet paper in the shower
