Cornwall Council has fined a licensed premises £1,000 after six people were caught drinking alcohol inside and ignoring social distancing rules. When questioned by officers from Devon and Cornwall Police who attended the premises, the men said they had been carrying out some maintenance work and had been disposing of out of date alcohol in preparation for reopening. However, the group decided to consume the alcohol rather than throwing it away, therefore breaching Covid regulations. The incident occurred last Friday, April 9. Under the restrictions in force at the time, licensed premises were closed and could not allow individuals to consume alcohol on the premises.
