The owners of a small cafe have said they will have to remove their outdoor seating area after it was repeatedly used as a toilet in the middle of the night.

The owners of Bliss Tea Rooms have taken to social media posting an image of a stranger crouching on their outdoor patio at night.

Small business owners have said they will now ask the local council to remove their much-loved seating area.

The owners of tea rooms in Co Louth, Ireland, said they couldn't let customers use the seating area knowing what it was for in the middle of the night. They also say it's unfair that their staff have to clean up "someone else's feces".

Posting on Facebook, the owner said: 'We have made the decision as a business to ask Louth County Council to remove the outside seating area from the front of our premises on Castle Street,' said reported the Irish Mirror.< /p>

"We loved our seating area and liked to make it as beautiful as possible with fresh flowers and extra seating.

"As you can see in this photo, no one should be subjected to cleaning up someone else's excrement and we cannot allow our guests and their families to use this seating area knowing that it was used as a public toilet.

"It's not the first time we've seen something like this on our camera and we've also seen other people doing drugs outside.
