Feels like a very soft approach by the council. The woman named in the article is the tenant of the flat and for some time has been a sex worker. Neighbours have complained to both the council and police about men coming and going at all hours. This measure is to prevent anyone else from coming to the address but I personally feel the tenancy should have been ended!!!
