Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema wants to move legal prostitution from the traditional red light district to a suburban "erotic centre". Residents of Amsterdam find themselves siding with the city's sex workers against the plan.

The city is trying to shed its 'sin city' image and ease the impact of mass tourism. For the moment, no one seems to agree with plan, which should be decided at the end of the year.

Amsterdam is geo-targeting a campaign to tell young British men wanting a “messy” weekend to stay away.

In bid to reduce nuisance behaviour ads will target people searching online for terms such as ‘stag party Amsterdam’.

Research has suggested Britons aged 18-35 tend to cause most nuisance in the red light district, with stag parties, pub crawls and all-night drink and drug benders making life unbearable for residents.

What is worst is the utter duplicity.

These rules were brought in under the guise of combating disturbances in the , but a motion to restrict alcohol consumption was rejected.

Drunk tourists are a much bigger cause of trouble than open windows and sex work.
