Children as young as 14 are believed to be working as prostitutes in Newport, Wales, with furious residents calling on police to clamp down on the fully functioning red light district.
According to locals Commercial Road in the Pill area is no longer safe for members of the public due to illegal activity.
Ann Barton, 71, owner of the AB Florist in the road, said: 'The situation is very bad at the moment.

A UK city has teen prostitutes selling sex for just £2'It's not just the sex workers either - the whole street has become a no-go area. It's truly heartbreaking.
'This used to be a lovely little community in Newport. Everybody used to get along and there was never any of the bad feeling you get here now.
'It's worse at night time, but it's bad in the day too.'
'Children walk up and down this street, as well as old age pensioners - I can imagine it being quite intimidating for them.
'I sometimes come to the shop at night to pick up some things before work the next day and they are on the street corners. When I come back at 6am the next morning they are still there.
'They must be there all night.'
Last year it was revealed girls as young as 14 were selling sex on the streets for £2.
Barber shop owner Barbara Dunlop said: 'There's definitely a lot of sex workers here, you see them on all different parts of Commercial Road.
'I'm based at the bottom end of the road and I sometimes see them on the corners at around 9am. They're all the way up the street at all times of the day.

'It's quite intimidating for people. I know one person who parked up on the street and they all jumped into the car.
'That could have ended up causing a lot of trouble.'
'The thing is, they all look like young girls.'
Gwent Police insist they are attempting to work with residents and organisations to clamp down on the issue.
Supt Glyn Fernquest said: 'We are actively working to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the Pill area and street sex work is one aspect of a range of concerns that we are currently addressing with the community and partner agencies.'
