Weter -in locals has criticized a new public toilet in the prosperous eastern suburbs of Sydney, in which some suggest that the 'thorn in the eye' would be better suited in the west of the city.
The new toilet block on Oxford Street in Paddington was installed last week to tackle the problem of sport fans that urinate in the front gardens of the prosperous houses of the suburb after attending events in nearby Allianz Stadium.
However, some residents are not impressed by his sleek, modern design and complain that it clashes with the aesthetics of the area of ​​the area.
Some even claimed that it would be more suitable for a suburb such as Blacktown – who causes a commotion of Western inhabitants of Sydney.
“You can place it in Blacktown or something, but not in Paddington,” a local told Nine.
“It's just a thorn in the eye. If you are going to design something for Paddington, you would definitely design a little more sensitive. '
Blacktown Resident and Federal MP Chris Bowen has condemned the comments.
'Blacktown is not a derogatory term … Sydney is a city. We do not need that you run down the million people who live in the west of Sydney. '

Some locals were worried about the 'Doorn in the eye' in a local parking space on Oxford St.
The design of the toilet is not the only frustration point, with many residents of the region that it has taken over two valuable parking spaces.
“That (Lord Mayor) Clover Moore should go. They take the parking garages, add cycle paths and let you ride on those electric bicycles that almost kill you on the footpath. It has all become ridiculous, “said a resident.
Others expressed their concern that the new toilet could attract drug users.
Critics told Daily Mail Australia that those who needed a toilet could easily use the nearby Maddo Inn, but the barman of the establishment, Brodie, welcomed the arrival of a new facility.
“We needed one; It prevents people from coming in to nagging all the time: “Hey, can I use your bathroom?” – It's a good thing. '
Despite the opposition, the city council defended the installation and said it was a response to community requests.
“The selected site was strategically well placed and facilitated useful access for pedestrians, cyclists and people with disabilities,” said a spokeswoman.
“We always balance these facilities against all concerns about the community.”
The toilet, with self -cleaning technology and an automatic door that reopens after 15 minutes to discourage antisocial behavior, took over more than a decade because the community rejected an earlier developmental application.
The development application states that the parking spaces will be restored once the construction is completed.
