JUST 11 fines for Covid breaches were handed out over the Easter Bank Holiday in North Yorkshire, with ten of those coming in the Scarborough borough. North Yorkshire Police said that it had been a quiet weekend with fines only being handed out for illegal indoor gatherings, with all but one of them coming on the coast. Superintendent Mike Walker, North Yorkshire Police lead for the force’s Covid response told a meeting of the North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum that it was “encouraging” that the number of fines had dropped so dramatically. He said in the last seven days just 14 fines had been issued, down from 170 the week before despite the “very busy” bank holiday. Supt Walker said: “It is pleasing that the rightfully careful and cautious step one of the Government’s road map out of lockdown has gone well in our area.
