Councillors complain about red-light workers in Victoria Park
Sex workers are invading old buildings in Tin Hau and setting up one-woman brothels.
The trend has prompted residents and neighbourhood representatives in the mainly middle-class, low-crime area to warn that there are signs of it turning into a red-light district.
District councillors have complained that some prostitutes are even plying their trade in Victoria Park during the daytime among elderly men who frequent the park.
'There have been so many complaints, I have lost count,' said Jennifer Chow Kit-bing. 'Most complaints have to do with one-woman brothels. I have also heard about women who work their trade in Victoria Park, mostly from people who exercise at the park.
'I suspect [prostitutes] may be spilling over from North Point and also Causeway Bay. One problem is that on weekends and Sundays, the park is crowded with people from different walks of life and nationalities, so it's very complicated.'
