Enforcement notices for three businesses

THREE businesses in Cornwall have been issued with enforcement notices for breaking Covid-19 rules.

Cornwall Council has said that it has been carrying out inspections on firms to check that all coronavirus prevention rules are being followed.

Rob Nolan, council Cabinet member for public protection, said that in the last full lockdown in March there had been just one enforcement notice issued.

He said that the council had visited 702 premises and found that 75% of them were compliant.

Cllr Nolan said that 170 had received warnings and that the three enforcement notices had been issued.

These were fixed penalty notices which businesses would have to pay through magistrates’ courts.

The Cabinet member also pleaded with people to continue to follow the current lockdown guidelines.
