Yobs face booze ban
Police will get extra powers to tackle alcohol-fuelled anti-social behaviour in Conisbrough, Old Denaby, Denaby and Clifton if a restriction order is agreed by councillors.
Doncaster Borough Council wants to introduce a Designated Public Place Order which would enable both police officers and PCSOs to confiscate alcohol being drunk in public places.

The move follows a rise in drink-related disorder in the area, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights.
The order is aimed at anti-social drinking and is not a blanket ban on alcohol outdoors.
If agreed by the cabinet committee on Monday, the order will need to be approved at a full council meeting on Monday, September 6.
A similar order has already been implemented in Mexborough.
