A GROUP of Isle of Wight volunteers, fined for breaching Covid-19 lockdown rules, have had their £100 fines dropped, police have confirmed. Yesterday (Sunday), it was revealed a football team based in Ventnor had raised more than £700 on Go Fund Me after six volunteers were handed fines over a Covid-19 lockdown regulation breach. Police were called to the sports centre on Whitwell Road, Ventnor, at around 4pm on Saturday, following reports of a gathering of people drinking inside. Six men were initially reported for summons by the attending officer in relation to fixed penalty notices for suspected breaches of the current Health Protection Regulations by gathering.
A group of Andover residents ended up with a more expensive barbecue than they bargained for after breaching lockdown rules in town. Police officers said they were called to “numerous Covid-19 breaches” at the weekend, with fines totalling thousands being handed out to those found breaching the rules. One group of six who were found attending a friend’s barbecue were roasted online by police, who said that they ‘hoped the food was worth it!’ Andover’s neighbourhood policing team said: “You are all aware by now what the rules are and why they are in place. Please be patient and the summer will soon be here. By then, if we all follow them, we can hopefully get back to normal.
