The municipality wants to move most of the sex work currently in the Red Light District to an erotic center yet to be built. After years of searching for a location, it became clear a year and a half ago that the municipality wanted to build the center near the RAI in South. See you later dissatisfaction from many local residents.
At D66 they seemed to have had doubts about their position on this subject for some time. “I think it’s too early to be happy with it or not,” said South district chairman Bart Vink (D66). in 2023 “, when it was already clear that there was a good chance that the erotic center would be located in the South. “Let’s first see what the effects will be if it comes to that location.” D66 councilor Elise Moeskops also said in 2024 still have many questions at the arrival of the erotic center.
And now the desire to build an erotic center has actually been removed from the party program. It is still unclear whether this will actually have consequences in a new council. At the moment, all parties in the opposition are outspoken against the arrival. GroenLinks and PvdA have always supported the plans.
