A PUBLIC toilet block in Perth is set to be demolished after community concern about “beat activity”.
The local council has voted to destroy the Lake Monger toilet block, according to Out in Perth.
Many attempts to deter sex acts in the area have reportedly failed.
The council has tried techniques including timed locks, upgraded lighting and even shutting the utilities entirely, but to no avail.
“Since January 2017, the Dodd Street toilets has experienced a considerable spike in antisocial behaviour and vandalism and has reached a point where town staff and cleaning contractors do not feel safe,” read the council minutes.
“Evidence has been obtained by the town’s officers, including photographic and written complaints from the local schools, cleaning contractors and the public concerning the activities that are taking place in Dodd Street toilets.”
The toilets will now be permanently closed and demolished.
Two members of the public have come forward to protest the closure of the toilets.
Well to be fair beats are probably no longer necessary except for dishonerable sex. In this day and age if a man who desires sex with men can’t negotiate a poly-amourous relationship with a signifiant other, so that the sex can be performed in the comfort of a bedroom; then Houston we do have a problem.
It never fails to make me angry about “beats”, the so called straights use them for gay sex too, and the straights also know what goes on there, so why all the fuss. At least those who “do the beats”, are not supposedly molesting little children or turning straight men into gay men. Why not just leave us alone, straights can pick up their sex trade on street corners and in plain sight, at least us gays are discreet and go inside toilets or in the bush or parks.
