This is just terrible news. Does anyone know when the rest of the windows close and has this been confirmed? If my memory serves me correctly (it rarely does) this is a very "talented" run of ladies..?
Also, where can I get more info on project 1012? How many more kamers do they plan to shutter?
This is from a pre 2009 version of the project-
"
The proposal is to preserve but reduce window prostitution to two clear areas: 1. The Oude Nieuwstraat and 2. The Oudezijds Achterburgwal and side streets. This would allow about half of the windows to remain, leading to more effective and efficient enforcement by police and other regulators."
This means the Sexy Land area (Tromp, Dolleb etc) are due to close but the OZA canal and streets like Stoofsteeg and Oudekennissteeg in theory should remain open. I haven't heard of any significant updates but I might have just missed them.
There is information here-
