Orders used to tackle prostitution in Hessle Road are set to be withdrawn after a High Court decision relating to animal protesters in London. Section 222 orders were introduced by Hull City Council five years ago to try and reduce the problems involving sex workers in the west Hull street.
It is now thought section 222 orders are illegal in the way they have been used. This is after an appeal in another case in London. Controversial clothing firm Canada Goose has been subject to numerous protests outside its London store by animal rights activists due to its use of fur and feathers. Section 222 orders were used to stop protesters. These orders were successfully appealed.
It is not all good news, because the cops will still be out in force prosecuting kerb crawlers and solicitors.
