Missing links? Prague City Council has tried in vain to send sausages to the slag heap

Wenceslas Square’s controversial roadside kiosks are to be subject to a council clampdown. All the curent kiosks will disappear by the end of the year with six new stalls being commissioned by City Hall, which intends to keep a tighter rein on them. A return of the pungent and hardly edible sausages sold in the past from the kiosks does not look likely — although the refreshments policy of the council has still to be fixed.

It's 'bricks and mortar',

It's 'bricks and mortar', mortar being the paste the binds the bricks together when you're building, not bricks and motor. They don't have a lot of car dealerships on Wenceslas Square. Also - why are they trying to "pimp up" the place if they're shipping the prostitutes to the train station? Unless they want to pimp it out and go ghetto fabulous maybe you were looking for primp?

This type of stuff is quite common and a real disservice to your readers, especially as you are a supposedly reputable local news source for non-native speakers - you are teaching them incorrect expressions. Please proof read and edit with some care.
