AN ENFORCEMENT officer is being set to target anti-social behaviour in Wombwell and Darfield.
A new full-time role is being created to deal with problems such as fly-tipping, car parking, litter, dog fouling and noise pollution - and hand out on the spot fines to offenders.
Joan Whitaker, from Wombwell's Crime and Safety Group, said: "Litter brings the area down and obviously dog fouling is brought up at every meeting borough-wide. If someone is there and around then the offenders won't do it."
Salaries will be paid for out of funds from ward budgets.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
