Anger over plan to move Amsterdam’s Red Light District.

Residents confronted Amsterdam's mayor on a controversial plan to move legal sex work from the city's historic Red Light District to a suburban "erotic centre".

In a meeting hall in the south of the city, hundreds of angry locals who don't want a "mega brothel" on their doorstep teamed up with sex workers who want to stay in their red neon booths.

In the middle of the row is Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema, who is sticking to a plan that few people seem to like.

"It's not possible," one mother said in tears at the meeting in the south of Amsterdam, near one of three sites that Halsema has proposed for the 100-room erotic centre.
