Yep. It's rife over there. The railway station has a massive problem with them too, despite the heavy presence of British Transport Police there. There is a man who claims he is "trying to get back to Goole" and needs help buying his ticket. He's been doing it for months and he could have surely walked there by now. 

 

The main strip on Doncaster is awash with them. A crowd of them congregate on the steps by the polish shop (across from McDonald's). 

 

Barnsley seems to have a grip on the problem, very few of them in the town centre. I wonder what they are doing that Doncaster and Sheffield aren't.

There seems to be a regular large congregation of beggars outside Poundland.  I’ve seen them getting chased out for pinching stuff in there a lot too.  Who would have thought Poundland could be so lucrative for them?

They do seem rather "organised" as a group. I saw some the other week actually divvy up the shop fronts on Fargate when they all got to town on public transport.  There's 1 that gets on our tram in a morning.  Lots of nice very expensive outdoors clothing and a bottle of wine in hand - at half 7!  he then meets his fellow "workers" outside Macdonalds
