' Plans to issue £100 fines for begging are to go ahead, Poole council has confirmed.
The introduction of fines in the Dorset town was put on hold last month following criticism from the Bishop of Sherborne and residents.
But the Borough of Poole says the fines will now come into force from 16 April.
The Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) will be in place in the town centre, Holes Bay, Alexandra Park and the Ashley Road area.
Under the rules, fines could also be given to those found sleeping in car parks and doorways. '
