Police proposal for 'managed' prostitution zone in area of Newport - but will it turn it into 'Little Amsterdam'?
Police are behind a plan to introduce “managed” prostitution in a Welsh city amidst claims girls of 14 are selling sex on the streets for £2.
The project came to light after information was distributed at a Labour group meeting in Newport about the “Holbeck street sex working managed area” in the north of England.
The Newport scheme would aim to help prostitutes leave sex work, improve street sex workers’ safety and boost reporting of offences against prostitutes.
Police and politicians were “realistic about the fact that prostitution will always exist.”
“It has been shown that enforcement alone is not an effective solution,” the spokeswoman said.
