A Wellington Councillor's calling out her peers over a new $2.3-million-dollar CBD public toilet.
It replaces an old block that had become a crime hot-spot.
The building's wooden panels are lined with a $150,000 lighting system, designed to display a night-time show.
Diane Calvert says spending in the Capital follows a pattern.
"This is the culture in the organisation - it just has to change. Toilets are really important in our CBD, but did we need to take three years building them and over $2 million dollars and light them up like a glowing monument?"
