No sex, please: we’d rather have a library

One From Australia Says Australia’s most famous red-light district is being forced to clean up its act.

The local railway station is being revamped, a handful of trendy new cocktail bars have opened and a sleek new community centre has been built in the main street — rather incongruously flanked by the Hot Pink Adult Boutique and a strip club called Love Machine. A gym has also opened, hardly in keeping with the Cross’s reputation for hardcore drinking and all night binges. Across the street a vacant shop is going to be turned into a library — a move Amante says is inappropriate. ‘You don’t want a 10-year-old girl having to walk past prostitutes every time she wants to take out a book,’ he says. ‘It just doesn’t make sense.’
