Owner horrified at doggers swinging behind Big Baps cafe as naked men and used condoms seen at breakfast
She said that men "walk around naked" and meet for dogging 'parties'
The owner of a local cafe has been left horrified by a "dogging site" that is operating yards away from her business.
Sharon Wherrett, co-owner of Big Baps @ Junction 25 in Brighouse, said that she sees "two or three doggers" every morning as she is serving lorry drivers their breakfast.
Her layby cafe, which she runs alongside her sister, Amanda Bissett, is a popular spot for drivers to stop off on their rest breaks and the vast majority of her business is serving lorry drivers breakfast and lunch.
But Sharon, 51, said that her cafe has been blighted by "male doggers" having sex with each other just yards away.
She told YorkshireLive : "If you came and had breakfast at our cafe you'd see two or three doggers, guaranteed.
"Most people think it's funny but it's actually really seedy. There's a charity that comes down and puts condoms and lube in the trees."
Sharon claims that the wooded area behind her cafe is trashed by sex waste, including bin bags full of used condoms and old mattresses that are used for people to have sex on.
If I take you down you will not believe what you've seen", Sharon said, adding: "there are bin liners full of used condoms; I opened a bin liner once and my sister started gipping.
"My daughter's 21 and she came over once and said 'mum I've just seen a dogger' and I said to her 'it could have been a fisherman' and she said 'mum he had his rod in his hand', they just walk around naked."
Sharon claims that she has repeatedly reported the issue to her local MP and the police, but said that the issue has persisted to the point where she now needs to warn people who go walking in the local area.

Sharon claims that men come "from Manchester" to attend dogging parties behind the layby, which is having a real impact on her business, not least because lorry drivers often cannot park their vehicles in the layby.
"It's [dogging] massive. The truckers who do manage to park there on a night get propositioned, they knock on the cab and say 'dya fancy a bit?' there's no women at all, it's all men", Sharon said.
