TWENTY fines were issued last week to revellers breaching new Covid-19 restrictions.
South Yorkshire Police dished out the £200 fines in Ingbirchworth after they disbanded a gathering in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Superintendent Paul McCurry said: “Now more than ever we all need to do our bit to slow the spread of the virus and protect our health service.
“I hope that this serves as a warning that where necessary, we will take action against those who show a clear disregard for the measures which are in place to protect others.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
