The pimps and madams control the prostitution business in Manchester. They mostly operate from massage parlours advertised in the press. Piccadilly, Chinatown and the Gay Village are the main neighbourhoods. Areas outside the city such as Ancoats attract freelancers. There is some touting to passers by in the street mostly after 2am or 3am.
Despite being considered illegal, the prostitution business doesn't spill over to affect the members of the public having their night out. It is a service offered for people who want it.
