WITH reference to your report concerning the Trowbridge brothel permitted by the police to operate for many years.
Some two years ago I wrote to the Police and Crime Commissioner expressing concern that a brothel was being allowed to operate in the centre of Chippenham.
The brothel had its own website showing semi-naked females and indicating their working days and specialities.
The reply from our PCC indicated that the brothel would be asked to moderate the content of the online site.
There was no suggestion of law enforcement or concern about the possibility of trafficked girls.
That these establishments are permitted to operate with girls brought to this country by gangs from Eastern Europe is a national scandal.
