THE street prostitution name and shame list is empty, with Vincent city council putting a drought of recent convictions down to the issue being “largely resolved”.
In 2013 the Alannah MacTiernan-led council resolved to publish the names of people convicted of soliciting a prostitute around Smith and Stirling Streets in Highgate. The names stay up for six months, but with the most recent convictions dropping off, the list is now empty.
Acting CEO Mike Rootsey says “the street prostitution issue has been largely resolved at this present time through the combined efforts [of] WA police and the city.”
The Voice asked if the problem had moved to nearby streets, but Mr Rootsey says “the city has received no further resident complaints” and “feedback from WA police supports that kerb-crawling is non-evident in Highgate area at this present time.”
