Rugby takeaway fined £1,000 for serving customers after 10pm - and owner fined £100 for not wearing a mask

摘要

A takeaway in Rugby was issued with a £1,000 fixed penalty notice last week after breaching Coronavirus restrictions. Environmental health officers from Rugby Borough Council visited the takeaway with police officers on 10 October, after receiving reports customers were inside after 10pm waiting to be served. Under restrictions introduced by the government, all businesses selling food and/or drink must close at 10pm each night - although takeaways are allowed to run a delivery service after that time. Warwickshire Police also fined the owner a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) for failing to wear a face covering. Rugby council has not named the takeaway. Since the introduction of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) Regulations 2020, the Rugby council's environmental protection team has been working with businesses in the borough to ensure compliance with the restrictions.
