Tolerance zones have been sited in the Netherlands, and also tested by some councils in this country including Edinburgh, and are usually in non-residential areas, primarily industrial parks.

If the Government were brave enough to legalise brothels and prostitution, instead of these mealy-mouthed compromises, it would mean the end of kerb crawling in residential areas, and the hassle that entails.

Just a point regarding a prevoious post, althought it's primarily men who are the customers of prostitutes, it's not always the case. There is a growing industry of male 'escort services' for women.
