Why has an area of Leeds been given a licence for a managed sex zone?

by Mary Honeyball MEP.

A pilot project in Leeds where ‘sex workers’ are permitted to operate between the hours of 7pm and 7am has been made permanent.

The initial pilot in the Holbeck area of the city began in October 2014 with the managed area now made permanent despite the murder of a 21 year-old prostitute found within the zone just before Christmas.
