Nottinghamshire Cheers as Locals Stick to New 10pm Covid Curfew
Perfect Compliance in Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire Police have praised the public and licensed venues for sticking strictly to the new 10pm Covid curfew this weekend. High-visibility patrols roamed city centres and towns across the county, ensuring everyone stayed safe and followed the rules.
The response was overwhelmingly positive, with locals behaving responsibly and helping to curb the deadly virus’s spread.
Zero Fines, Zero Fuss
Officers focused on engagement rather than enforcement, explaining the importance of the curfew and encouraging compliance. The result? No fines or penalty notices issued in nottingham/" title="Nottingham" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Nottingham city centre on Friday and Saturday nights.
Licensed premises across the area—including Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark, Bassetlaw, Gedling, Rushcliffe, Broxtowe, Edwinstowe, and Ollerton—were all found to be Covid compliant, with no action necessary.
Chief Inspector Issues Strong Message
“I want to thank the people of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire who abided by the rules and behaved responsibly to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and keep everyone safe,” said Chief Inspector Kathryn Craner.
“These are unprecedented times, and everyone must do their bit to minimise the risk of transmission. We use the four E’s approach—engage, explain, encourage, and enforce—but enforcement is a last resort.”
“We won’t tolerate those who flout the rules and risk others’ lives. We will work closely with local authorities and health colleagues to tackle any problems swiftly. Our top priority is protecting the public, and we thank everyone who has helped make that possible.”
Looks like Nottinghamshire is leading by example in the fight against Covid!
