Author: Northants Police Police remind people to celebrate Christmas while following the coronavirus law and guidance
Christmas is traditionally a time to meet up and celebrate but this year Northamptonshire Police is reminding people of the need to do this in a covid-secure way. Mass gatherings are illegal and could see the organiser fined £10,000, while attendees could be given a £200 fine. Last weekend officers handed out four £10,000 fines. Two were given to people who had organised a house party, one was given to a DJ at one of the parties and another to the organiser of a wedding reception. And following an investigation, a £10,000 fine has been handed out to the organiser of a birthday party in Hazelwood Road, Northampton, which took place on December 5. Four other residents were also issued with £200 fines for being present during the party.
