I WRITE regarding the comments made by Councillor Albert Richardson (Citizen, February 18), about leaving the prostitutes alone in the Fletcher Road and St Mary's Road area of Preston.

I have a 21-year-old daughter living in that area and she has to put up with the perverts who frequent the area as well as the degrading behaviour of these girls.

If Coun Richardson is so concerned about their welfare, perhaps they could move to his neighbourhood and he could put up with them.

Would he like his friends and relatives who visit his home to have to run the gauntlet of a row of prostitutes beckoning them over as they drive down the road?

I don't think so!
