Motorists meeting up to commit sex acts at a popular dogging site are being detered after a fed up service station began filming them and showing their activities on large-screen televisions.
The Moto Hospitality service station in Penllergaer on the M4 near Swansea took action after woodland next to it was advertised on a specialist swingers website and became popular with people committing sex acts.
In a bid to discourage lewd behaviour it placed signs in its toilets warning it would send their images and registration numbers to the police and it placed cameras at its entrance which beam live footage to large screen televisions inside the complex.
A spokesman for Moto Hospitality Ltd said: "I can confirm that CCTV cameras are in operation at the Swansea motorway service area, Junction 47 of the M4, to act as a deterrent to people who visit the site for reasons unrelated to our commercial activities.

"The cameras cover the main entrance and the entrance to the corridor leading to the toilets. The output is screened at both locations. The cameras are supplemented by notices in the toilets warning that anybody suspected of lewd behaviour will have their description and vehicle registration number passed to police.
"Since the measures were put in place last October there has been a dramatic reduction in the number of people using the service area car park for inappropriate purposes."
The police have increased their presence in the area and the Forestry Commission has carried out work in the woodland to make it a more open space. |
