A HAMPSHIRE council is to slash charges for sex shops.
Fareham council bosses voted to halve the levy on porn traders at the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Committee.
Any sex shops coming to the area would have been hit with a licence fee of £2,820.
However, legally they had to bring the cost down to market level almost halving it to £1,480.
The decision is to be rubber-stamped later this month.
