A 28-year-old man from Grantham was among 23 people who were each fined £800 after police broke up a birthday party in Swindon over the weekend.
Wiltshire Police arrived at the large gathering at a property on Primrose Close, Haydon Wick, Swindon at around 9.30pm on Saturday, January 30.
Officers broke up the party, which breached coronavirus restrictions, and dispersed the guests before ordering them home.
Police had found a number of vehicles parked outside the house and loud music coming from inside.
Castle Eaton: A business that turns thrown-away food and scraps into gas is looking to expand. Biomethane Castle Eaton Ltd runs an anaerobic digester on a site in the country just south of the village near Cricklade. Anaerobic digesters take organic material such as food or garden or agricultural waste, and lock it into airtight tanks. This increases the rate of breakdown of the material and creates methane gas to be used for energy and compost. The company has asked for permission to install another digester, an effluent lagoon for run-off from new silage storage bays it wants to put in and a rainwater pond, as well as an office building and weighbridge.
THESE are all of the death notices published in the Swindon Advertiser for the week beginning January 25 2021.

Labour group leader Jim Grant is hoping to end the Conservatives’ stranglehold and wants Swindonians to learn the lessons of 2020 The leader of Swindon’s Labour opposition hopes the lessons of 2020 will be remembered by people in Swindon – and says the past 12 months have shown the importance of community. Looking forward to the 2021 local elections scheduled for May, councillor Jim Grant first looked back over the last year. He said: “2020 was a year unlike any other I can remember. Yet in the midst of the Covid crisis so many people in Swindon and across the country have worked tirelessly to care for our loved ones, to keep shelves in shops fully stocked and have contributed in a multitude of other ways – I want to pay tribute to them.
