We visited the public sex hotspot for "men from Manchester" next to the Big Baps Cafe
The Big Baps Cafe off the M62 hasn't been far from the news recently. Owners of the roadside cafe say their business has been blighted by 'men from Manchester' visiting the layby for 'dogging parties.'
Amanda Bissett, who runs the popular cafe in a layby just of the motorway at Brighouse says the goings on at the 'public sex hotspot' nearby are costing her £100 a week in takings.
She and her business partner, Sharon Wherrett said they are seeing 'two or three doggers' every morning as they are serving lorry drivers their breakfast. They've since called on the local council to introduce parking restrictions.

Last week, Yorkshire Live spent an hour at the 'sex hotspot' next to Big Baps cafe to see what happened. This is what reporter Andrew Robinson said he saw.
It's 11.40 on Thursday morning, the sun is shining and I've already spotted a Durex lube wrapper flapping in the gentle breeze.
After parking up near the Big Baps cafe, the first thing I notice are several piles of old tyres, dumped in a wooded area behind a fence, and everywhere there is 'sex litter', evidence that this location is popular with people who are into al fresco sex.
The area, just off the M62 at Brighouse, is a bit of a fly-tipping hotspot, with people using it to dump all manner of rubbish, from gas bottles to fridges. A lorry driver from North Wales pulls over, telling me he likes to visit Big Baps cafe every Thursday as a treat.
He's too hungry to say much, but jokes about the layby and its reputation. "Ha, ha," he laughs. "I don't even get sex at home." With that bombshell, he pops into Big Baps for his butty.
