Worries over Leeds red light area

    Residents in Leeds have voiced concerns over child safety for those who live close to a controlled red light zone.

    The zone in Holbeck is the first scheme of its kind in the UK and is intended to make life safer for sex workers.

    But locals have said used needles have been found on streets outside of the zone, putting children at risk.

    Police have said the scheme is under continuous review and they take the concerns of residents seriously.
