A MAN who was running an illegal barber shop in his garden shed during lockdown has been fined £1,000. Trading standards and Covid Enforcement Officers caught the 26-year-old cutting hair in the shed in his back garden on February 5, following a tip-off. Businesses such as hairdressers – which involve close contact between people – are not allowed to operate during the current Wales-wide level-four lockdown restrictions. Council officers have been given powers to close any premises that are breaking the rules, and issue fixed penalty notices to traders. The shed barber was caught at his home address in the Morgan Jones Park area of Caerphilly.
