The owner of a popular roadside cafe near a 'public sex hotspot' says the goings on are costing her £100 a week in takings.
Amanda Bissett, who runs Big Baps cafe in a layby just of the M62 at Brighouse is calling for her local council to restrict parking to a maximum of two hours, Yorkshire Live reports.
It comes after her co-owner previously complained her business was being blighted by 'men from Manchester' holding dogging parties in the bushes.

Sharon Wherrett said she and her business partner see 'two or three doggers' every morning as they are serving lorry drivers their breakfast.
She claims the men come 'from Manchester' and sometimes so many people turn up there's no room for lorry drivers to park in the layby.
She estimates that the cafe loses about £100 per week due to customers being unable to find a parking spot.
The layby, she claims, is 'misused' by people who park up and 'car share' with friends or colleagues in order to save money.
She's also been complaining for months about men who park up and meet others men for public sex in woodland behind the cafe.
Amanda said a police officer had visited the cafe to discuss the problems and had mentioned 'patrols' taking place.
"He reluctantly went for a walk (around) and said they would patrol but I have not seen anything since," she said.
Amanda said Calderdale Council had mentioned putting up parking signs, but that this is yet to happen.
"It's something they are aware of but it's not a priority," she said.
"They might put some signs up in one or two years."
Meanwhile, she has taken to placing her own homemade signs on vehicles parked outside the cafe.
"The notes say 'please do not leave your car in this layby. You should only park here for a maximum of two hours. By parking here, it prevents key workers from parking for a well-deserved rest and a meal break'."
She says a large number of customers are nurses, midwives and lorry drivers who are desperate for a bacon sandwich, a cup of tea and a rest.
The warning signs haven't gone down well with everyone, she says.
"One man came in and said 'what's this'. We told him it was a polite notice and why we left it there.
"He said 'I don't give a s**t about the key workers - people should leave us alone. He was here to go down the back (to the public sex meeting place)."
Amanda says the 'sex litter' problem has not gone away. There are litter signs on the layby but visitors continue to discard condoms and condom wrappers.
This makes her particularly annoyed as her customers do not want to be put off their food.
"Sex litter is still an issue," she says.
"It has been cold and wet and I don't think there's a lot of romance when it's cold - but it still goes on."
In the meantime, inconsiderate parking is costing her money because there are sometimes no spaces for passing customers. Occasionally, drivers have been parking on the pavement.
"We are losing money. I would say more than £100 per week easily."
West Yorkshire Police and Calderdale Council have been approached for comment.
In October Calderdale Council said it would be addressing the cafe's concerns, saying: "We will work with the Police and other partner organisations to address the concerns."
Police have previously said the matter had been passed to the Neighbourhood Policing Team.
