Derbyshire police patrolled town centres over the weekend to ensure residents and venues were abiding by the latest licensing rules were being adhered to.
Officers identified a ‘few minor, localised issues’ when enforcing the 10pm curfew which ensures pubs, restaurants and bars stop serving customers at 10pm but shared their thanks to the community for largely complying with the rules.

“As I have said before, stopping the spread of this virus is a combined effort and we all must work together and play our part to do so.
“Other than a few minor, localised issues, which we are working together with local authorities to combat, our communities and businesses complied with the latest rules during the past weekend.
“I fully understand that this is a difficult, worrying, and often frustrating time for everybody and the support of Derbyshire residents means our officers are able to do their job and keep everyone safe.
