1/5 We continue to be really busy across the county with high demand as well as numerous reports of breaches of Covid-19 regulations.
On Tues we received a report of a street party in Darwen where around 40-50 adults and children were gathered.
2/5 Officers attended and a woman, understood to be the party organiser, was issued with a £10,000 fixed penalty notice.
We remain in the middle of a pandemic and the rules are there to stop the spread of the virus and to keep everybody safe.
3/5 We want things to go back to normal just as much as everybody, but the rules are there for a reason. By not following them you could be contributing to the likelihood of further restrictions.
4/5 Our approach has always been and will continue to be, to engage with people to explain the rules, and we don’t take enforcement action lightly, however we will issue fines for non-compliance where necessary.
5/5 Anybody who isn’t sure what the rules are should visit gov.uk/coronavirus for more information.
