Parent fined after children failed to follow lockdown restrictions after reports of anti-social behaviour

A parent has been fined after their children failed to follow lockdown restrictions in Bolton

It comes following reports of anti-social behaviour at Leverhulme Park. 

Police say they had already received a formal warning but continued to flout the rules. 

A spokesman for GMP Bolton North said: “A parent has been issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice by the Breightmet Neighbourhood Team after their children failed to follow COVID-19 restrictions, despite being formally warned previously.

“This was following reports of anti-social behaviour at Leverhulme Park.”

Recently, two people who work in Bolton were handed £1,000 fines for ignoring quarantine rules after trips abroad.

One woman in her 20s returned to her job at a high school in the town despite flying home from a trip to Amsterdam two days before.

Bolton still has the highest infection rate in the country, with 242 cases per 100,000 people in the week ending September 22.
