The Belgian city of Antwerp is to dim its new waterfront lights after complaints from prostitutes.
Sex workers complained the bright lights were putting off potential clients, reports Independent Online.
"We had some remarks from the prostitutes that there was too much light, both for them and the clients," city council spokesperson Jorn Verbeeck said.
"We are investigating the possibility of lowering the light there."
Prostitutes complained to city and police officials that the lights did not give them enough privacy and hurt business, he said.
The port, which tolerates sex workers in a select few streets near the waterfront, is to test an electric system to dim the lights.
Remember... If your gonna touch it, you gotta pay for it first.
You never know...perhaps some already have, but just don't know it!!
I don't have an issue with those that have BEEN prostitutes. I have an issue with those who remain prostitutes and those that defend them.
Why?
