Thousands in fines for those who broke the rules

PEOPLE not wearing masks during lockdown and partygoers flouting the rules have been fined thousands of pounds in court in Derby.

Others leaving their homes when not permitted to do so have also received heavy financial penalties for by magistrates in the city.

In June, Derbyshire police praised the public for their behaviour throughout the coronavirus pandemic, stating that restrictions were easing largely down to the efforts of the vast majority of people living in the county.

It came following the publication of data released at the time which showed how many Covid-related fines were issued in the county and every other police authority in England.

It revealed that between Monday, March 27 last year (when the pandemic began) to May 15, 2021, more than 1,600 fines were issued by Derbyshire police.

Despite this, nearly 30 individuals from across the county and further afield were dealt with for their offending during one day last week in court.
