IN the Gazette article Ian Saunders states “The Solo Summers concept is actually about having a great entertaining night out within a safe environment and certainly not the promotion of the inequality of women” (Gazette, February 25).

The proposed sex club is nothing more than a tawdry venue to extract money by putting on disgusting sex shows.

This vile trade demeans and exploits women.

Unfortunately Colchester Council has shown complete incompetence in controlling sex clubs.

Look at the now defunct Mingles swingers club, Colchester Council gave permanent permission for this evil trade to continue.

After four years, the commercial operations of the swingers club stopped because of members deciding to avoid the hovel.

The intermittent meetings since then gradually stopped. Victory was achieved and my protest days were over.

No more protests outside the swingers club or the town hall before council meetings.

I expect this morally-deficient council to approve the proposed sex club. As soon as it opens, I will be doing my well-honed silent protest outside it.

It was remarkably effective in stopping people attending the swingers club.

The proposed sex club will be an expensive mistake for Saunders.
