Cosy Nook’s public toilet exists no more after being the target of a suspected arson attack.

The Southland District Council’s public toilet at the small, quiet cove was burned down sometime before the weekend.

A council spokeswoman said the damage was discovered on Saturday and a police report was filed.

"The toilets will need to be replaced and the cost of doing so will be determined once the scope of the project is completed."

Council facilities were vandalised on occasion, which she said was incredibly frustrating for the community as they ultimately paid the price of repairs and replacement.
