Police were called to St Leonards seafront after Deborah Cutting tried to host an illegal dance gathering. The 54-year-old admitted breaching the Coronavirus Act when she appeared before Brighton Magistrates’ Court. She “refused to cease and leave the area” the court was told, and then “refused to give personal details in order for the matter to be dealt with by other means”. Cutting, of Bexhill Road, St Leonards, had organised an event called “Boogie on the Beach”. It is not the first gathering that police have been called to during the Covid-19 lockdown in Sussex. Officers had arrived at the site in Trinity Place to find 30 people without masks and not socially distancing using equipment to make the video.
