An advert for dogging in a public car park has got some hot under the collar.
A saucy website has been advertising a car park next to South Woodham Ferrers Rugby Club as a popular place for couples and strangers to meet for sexual encounters.
Chelmsford Borough Council will now be investigating whether any dogging is going on in its South Woodham Ferrers car park.
Villagers have campaigned against an A120 layby near Pattiswick being used as a dogging spot.
A crackdown dubbed Operation Muttley has been launched by police to tackle dogging at a Staffordshire beauty spot, police have revealed
Covert police patrols and CCTV cameras will be deployed at Cannock Chase following a spike in reports of lewd sexual behaviour at the attraction. Operation Muttley has been formed to monitor and tackle people involved in inappropriate activity.
Details of vehicles visiting the venue will be logged to allow police to gather evidence against individuals.
And senior officers have today warned that anyone found to be committing a crime will be prosecuted.
Inspector Donna Gibbs, South Staffordshire local policing team commander, said today: “In order to address concerns that have been raised, and to keep our communities safe and reassured, we are conducting high-visibility patrols right across the area, and are providing information to visitors at the locations identified.
“We are seeking to both raise awareness of the problem and to deter any such inappropriate behaviour in the future in order to return the beauty spot to its former status, as a safe place for families to visit.”
Insp Gibbs said members of the community had raised concerns about the issue at Cannock Chase, which for many years has been recognised as a spot for dogging activity, during which people engage in sexual acts in public or watch others doing so.
THE lay-by and Hog’s Back Cafe on the A31 between Guildford and Farnham could be shut down after councillors agreed that ‘dogging’ activities at a public sex site next to them were taking place too close to Puttenham School and village.
At a specially-convened meeting on Thursday in Marwick Hall in Puttenham, all eight members of the county council’s Safer and Stronger Communities Select Committee who were present voted in favour of the closure.
Teachers, police officers and the Hog’s Back Café owner were among those grilled by members on the question of whether to close the lay-by, which would effectively cut off access for users of the dogging hotspot.
Nilesh Thackor, owner and tenant of the café, said that shutting it would mean the loss of four full-time and two part-time staff members.
He said: “I would like to ask these people, in this time of recession, where my staff, with families, are expected to find jobs?”
Tony Rooth, leader of Guildford Borough Council and also a county councillor, said that renewing the lease may give the site another 10 years to “further develop its sexual potential”..
Police should ‘ignore’ couples caught dogging – having sex outdoors – unless members of the public complain, a report said yesterday.
Officers are also being advised to reduce ‘knee jerk’ reactions when they catch gay men having sex in public toilets.
Instead, police should focus on busting organised outdoors meets by researching sex forums on the web.
Michael Cunningham, ACPO lead on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues and deputy chief constable of Lancashire constabulary, drafted the 21-page ‘policing public sex environments’ proposals.
He said the guidelines – issued to Britain’s 51 police forces – are being introduced because previous methods have failed, according to force magazine Police Review
As dogging gets ever more mainstream, the Midland’s only regional Sunday newspaper, with a certified readership of 120,000+, The Sunday Mercury, has chosen to publish twenty places to go dogging in the Midlands in its edition printed last week.
Quite detailed descriptions too. Here’s just one sample for you…
Barr Beacon – The car park near Aldridge, just off the A454. The dark top area near the bandstand, a good place for couples to watch or be watched.
Although the award winning Sunday Mercury is primarily a family paper, it clearly knows what its readers wants, and as well as providing details such as this, it also provides some dogging etiquette tips for its readers including “The rules are if you have your inside light on it means that you want other couples to watch,” and “If the light is off, that means you want to be left alone.” as well as “if you have dipped headlights, it means you are on your own, looking for action.”
The feature in the paper is called Revealed: The secret seedy dogging spots in the Midlands where you can have sex with strangers. Yes, this paper really has chosen to publish details of where you can have sex with strangers. This is the first instance we have ever come across a Sunday Paper Listing Dogging Spots. How the world has changed!
The Sunday Mercury feature starts with “A footpath by a police station, fields next to an historic abbey and a famous Midland beauty spot are all on a list of sites where strangers meet for sex in front of seedy spectators. The kinky practice – know as ‘dogging’ – involves adventurous couples performing sex acts in cars or in secluded areas while others watch.” The paper even goes on to say that “the activity falls through a legal loophole – because it is not an offence to have sex in public unless it is witnessed by someone who is “outraged” by the goings-on.”
Sunday Mercury researchers found hundreds of dogging sex sites spread across the Midlands, some of them in remarkable places including a footpath in the centre of affluent Solihull right next to the town’s Police station.

Strangers using a secluded copse near Kirtlington for outdoor sex have been moved on by police.
The practice of meeting strangers for sex in a public place, known as dogging, had been taking place at a small wood along Port Way.
Police took action after a female jogger came across a naked man running out of the copse two months ago.
After an investigation, the man was arrested but released without charge and Kidlington officers began patrolling the area to deter future sexual activities.
Sergeant Colin Travi, of Kidlington police, said: “We have had a few complaints. My officers have made follow-up visits and we have done some patrols out there.
“Those partaking in the activity have been warned not to frequent the area for sexual purposes.”
He added: “If they want to practice some illicit sexual act, they should do so in the privacy of their own home and not in a public place where some people may be offended.”
He said he did not know how long the area had been used as a dogging site.
Officers made the issue a priority less than a month ago and have confronted people at night AND during the day.
But they were not found to be committing any offences, and all were instead issued with a leaflet with guidance on public sex.
Officers vowed to tackle the problem after residents repeatedly complained about lewd activity in three lay-bys near a family picnic spot.
Undercover and uniformed police officers have been now been deployed to patrol around the area.
On a swinging sex website the area is described as: “Three Laybys on the A165 between Coniston and Skirlaugh, North East of Hull. Some couples dogging and some gays. A known location for action with couples who invite fun.”
Another site comments on the location warning potential doggers to watch out for the police, a post reads: “Skirlaugh / Coniston A165 (East Riding).
“Warning – Watch out for the police at the A165 lay bys close to the Transpennine Trail as they are stopping anyone that looks like they maybe out for some fun. We started using another Coniston dogging location so if you want to meet drop me a line as I’m keep this place just for East Riding dogging contacts & friends.”
Anyone caught committing an offence at the site could face arrest and prosecution for indecent exposure, voyeurism or outraging public decency.
Twilight heart-throb Robert Pattinson has revealed that he was once caught up in a dogging raid.
The Twilight star was left red faced when he realised that the place he cycled regularly to was a notorious local site for casual sexual encounters.
He had been totally clueless until police stopped him for questioning.
The 26-year-old explained to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel: “I used to turn up at this parking lot looking at everyone like, ‘Why are all these guys sitting around in their cars all the time?’
“And I’m going there everyday kinda thinking nothing of it, coming out in my little Lycra pants, and one day there was a big raid.”
