Prostitution in Eastville 'continues to be an issue' say police

Police have said that prostitution in Eastville 'continues to be an issue' as they try to tackle the problem.

Neighbourhood policing updates posted onto the Avon and Somerset police website says that there have been reports of street prostitution on and around the Fishponds Road area of Eastville. On June 9, a post on the website said that work to stop the crime is ongoing but "this will require long-term monitoring."

Another post says that a dedicated police sex work team will carry out patrols over the next few months "to get a better understanding of the current issues relating to this problem". And they have urged the public to contact police if they have any information they think would be useful.
