People living near Rosary Road in Norwich urged city councillors to support the renewal of police orders to tackle “anti-social behaviour”.
During a meeting of Norwich City Council’s cabinet, held on Wednesday, September 9, residents highlighted “disturbances” and asked councillors to call for the renewal of public space protection orders (PSPOs) to tackle the issue.
Kevin Maguire, cabinet member, said it was important to “support these street sex workers out of the business, otherwise you risk relocating the issue, rather than resolving it through enforcement alone.”
And he added: “The city of Norwich has had something like 40pc of its funding cut in real terms. It is important to that note police already have powers to deal with kerb crawling as a criminal matter.”
