The Prostitutes Collective says policing their members won't work in Christchurch and is welcoming a city council report discouraging a bylaw on sex workers.
Residents north of Bealey Ave have campaigned for a bylaw to stop prostitutes loitering and making noise outside their homes.
Council staff have now written to
residents to say they're not recommending the bylaw to the council.
Prostitute's Collective Coordinator Catherine Healy says it's better to manage sex workers with street lighting and cameras, rather than new rules.
She says fined workers tend to go back to the same spot to earn money to pay their fine.
