Their presence around the city centre, trawling for business most evenings is often offensive and inappropriate. The assumption that everyone using the city centre during the evening is out consuming alcohol etc is very narrow, not at all representative out the rich and diverse culture of Leeds.

This is where the employment therefore is for our young women and therefore this becomes something that more young women seriously have to consider as a career choice. It also means more people who view women as purchaseable entertainment are in the city for the wider community to experience. I do not want more oyung women to see this as an alternative to the dole queue. Give the spaces to other businesses that add value to the city and real opportunities for work. I don't think Leeds should be percieved as a lapdancing capital - i dont think our kids should grow up in a place with this reputation.

The number of clubs in Leeds normalises the objectification of women and in turn has a negative affect on healthy relationships, sexual health and contraceptive use.
