It is not a new problem but in the New Year I want to present the idea of Safe Zones to the Labour group. I need the support of the party in order for this plan to go ahead.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is not particularly a council matter. It is something that will possibly have to be dealt with in cabinet. This is why I hope to have the support of the people in the Labour party.\u201d<br \/>\nThe safe zones would move sex workers away from residential areas and provide support to them as and when they need it.<br \/>\nAmong the areas where prostitutes and their clients cause problems for residents are Cornwell Street and Court Road.<br \/>\nInge Hanson, 57, of Dinas Street, said: \u201cThe prostitution seems to be going on in the Taff Mead Embankment area but the police seem to be working hard to curb this problem.<br \/>\n\u201cThe answer is to make sure that women or men that are prostitutes are getting the proper services to make sure they are safe. The neighbours around here make the police aware when they are in the area working then the police push them out.<br \/>\n\u201cThe issue is that they also get pushed out of the other areas they start working in and then they come straight back to Grangetown so the problem is not being solved in the long term.\u201d<br \/>\nMrs Hanson added: \u201cThe idea of safe zones is great. Perhaps they shouldn\u2019t be called safe zones but people should definitely know where to go. I also think it should be planned extremely carefully because it is difficult to know whether these plans will work.<br \/>\n\u201cAt the moment the area where they kerb crawl is a no go area but as I said, the problem is not that they are prostitutes but the fact that they are risking their lives and are not being safe.\u201d<br \/>\nIn the past police community support officers have placed fences around the area to try and stop the problems.<br \/>\nSafer Wales Partnership also\u00a0work to provide safety in Cardiff for sex workers by handing out health advice, snacks and condoms.<br \/>\nPolice are asking residents to call 101 if they see any sex workers in the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A PLAN to provide safe zones for prostitutes to work in Cardiff is set to be presented to councillors.
