THE council and police have joined forces to tackle environmental crime in the town.
More than 50 police community support officers (PCSOs) have been given training by the council to help keep the streets safe and clean.
PCSOs, who have completed the training, have been issued with fixed penalty books to issue notices for problems such as littering and dog fouling.
PCSO Sigourney Ridsdale was singled out for praise by both Cheshire Police and the Council.
She issued eight fixed penalty notices in the Orford Park area for breaches under the dog control order.
Cllr Judith Guthrie, executive member for environment and public protection, said: “This achievement is a perfect example of how the council and the police can work effectively together to keep our streets safe and clean.
"Tough action needs to be taken against the irresponsible people who continually blight their own area. We would urge local residents to join in the fight by reporting those responsible."
