Watching the kerb crawlers
 |
| Advertiser reporter Emily Walker was repeatedly propositioned by kerb crawlers |
TEN kerb crawlers an hour were trawling the streets of Broadgreen.
In an Advertiser investigation into the men who pay for sex, I spent two evenings on the corner of Manchester Road and Salisbury Street.
Our investigation took place last Friday night and on Wednesday, after making the neighbourhood police officers aware of what we were doing for safety reasons.
In just one hour on Friday 10 kerb crawlers made approaches to me.
On Wednesday, a man stopped his car next to where I stood on Salisbury Street, wound down his window and asked "do you want business?"
When I asked the chubby eastern European to repeat what he had said her asked again: "You want business? You got business?"
After I made it clear I was a reporter from the Advertiser and asked him to explain why he had stopped me he replied: "I'm just driving. I don't know why I stopped, I'm just driving."
