Trowbridge business fined £1,000 for breaking Covid rules by hosting New Year s Eve party
Coronavirus A Wiltshiree premises has been slapped with a £1,000 fine for breaking Covid rules on New Year’s Eve. Wiltshire Council has handed out its first fixed penalty notice to a licensed premises in Trowbridge for failing to comply with Covid regulations. The business – which the council has refused to name – was visited by Wiltshire Police on New Year’s Eve, where they found a small group of people having a private party. Previously, the premise was issued both written and verbal warnings for non-compliance with Covid-19 guidance.
SALISBURY looks likely to miss out on more than a million pounds of funding, which had been set aside to improve car parks, cycling options and more in the city. A low traffic zone and experimental traffic order limiting vehicle movements in the city centre was suspended, after businesses and council leaders withdrew support for the People Friendly Streets plan last year. But the city s MP, John Glen, has called for a grant of £1.3 million from the Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership (SWLEP) to be spent as planned. The money had been set aside for complementary measures linked to - but separate from - the rest of the People Friendly scheme.
