From Monday, the council's community wardens will be issuing fixed penalty notices in a bid to clean up streets and parks in the Town Field area.

Dog waste bins and eights signs warning of the fines have been installed.

Helen Briggs from the council said: "Dog fouling is something we need to banish from the streets of Doncaster"

She added: "Not only is it unpleasant to see, it also poses a serious health hazard to people, especially children.
