    Business owners in part of Hull say trade is being affected by an ongoing problem with prostitutes in the area.

    An exclusion zone was created by Hull City Council in 2014 to try to stop sex workers from operating around Hessle Road, but traders say the number of women working in the area is on the increase again and crime is rising as a result.

    Hull City Council say they take the issue very seriously and will continue to work closely with Humberside Police and the relevant agencies to support anyone involved in prostitution to help reduce this type of activity.
