A gym owner has claimed that a council order to remove frosted glass from her property could cause traffic accidents as male drivers peer through the windows.

Charlene Elliott, 27, installed the windows at the front of her shop to protect the privacy of her pupils from passers-by on the busy street in Newport, South Wales.

However Newport city council says it is out of keeping with the rest of the neighbourhood and has ordered replacements to be fitted instead.

However, Mrs Elliott says the sight of young women exercising could prove a dangerous distraction to passing motorists.

Pole dancing was one of the workouts mentioned in the article. So yeah, I could see why the ladies are concerned about their privacy.
