A party organiser was given a £10,000 fine and 38 of his guests were given £200 fines for flouting Covid-19 restrictions – as England prepares for a national lockdown.
Officers were called to the property in Plumptre Street in the city centre at around 00.45am today (Sunday).
The occupier of the flat was given the £10,000 fine for organising a gathering of more than 30 people, believed to be students, while the guests were fined £200 for disregarding Tier 3 restrictions which forbid people meeting indoors with people outside their household or support bubble.
Yesterday the Government announced that England will enter a second national lockdown for four weeks from Thursday, as the spread of the deadly virus escalates.
