There will be no sex expo in Hamilton under the current council’s watch.
All but one Hamilton City councillor at yesterday’s strategy and policy meeting voted against hosting the R18 event at the new Claudelands Event Centre in March, amid accusations of trying to win votes after the V8 debacle cost the city almost $40 million.
Councillor Ewan Wilson was the lone supporter of pornographer Steve Crow’s Erotica Lifestyles Expo show being held at the council-owned centre.
Staff decided to let councillors make the final decision because of the sex expo’s potential moral impact on the community. Councillors voted nine against and one for the event.
