Where groups fail to comply with police, officers have the powers to issue fixed penalty notices of £100, which doubles for further offences, up to a maximum of £3,200.”.Deputy Assistant Commander Matt Twist, who leads the Met’s response to Covid-19, said: “Coronavirus has had an enormous impact on London and the life of Londoners and my thoughts are with all those who have battled the virus or who have lost loved ones.“Our city has made huge sacrifices since the start of lockdown in March and officers across the Met have been working around the clock to keep London safe and support our heroic health colleagues.“Throughout this period, the vast majority of Londoners have complied with the regulations.

Therefore, please continue to act responsibly – maintain social distancing, respect the new regulations and guidance, and help keep yourself, your friends and family safe.”.A trade union boss has warned that the end of the job retention scheme could trigger mass redundancies.Speaking on BBC Breakfast, TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said: “Unemployment isn’t just miserable for families, it will hold back the economy, just at the time when if we are facing further spikes and lockdowns we need more support.“We’ve put forward proposals to the Government for a job retention and upskilling scheme and I’m really appealing to the Chancellor to stand by working families and keep people at work.”.She described the furlough scheme as a success, stating it is “too soon to pull the plug”.“The problem is if the Government doesn’t act now we could be facing mass unemployment and we know how much harm that does to the economy and how much more expensive it is in the long run.”.Ms O’Grady said the “key to unlocking the economy” was a good test and trace system.“The Government needs to sort out the test and trace system, that is the way to avoid these mass lockdowns and growth of cases that we’re seeing,” she said.“Maybe if the Government also invested in sorting out test and trace, recognising that in fact local public health has been the most successful part of that, not the millions that has been wasted frankly on private contracts that don’t seem to have done the job.“The key to unlocking the economy is to sort out this public health crisis and the Government needs to focus on that fast.”.TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady warned many workers were concerned about a lack of social distancing in the workplace.She urged the Government to make it a requirement for employers to publish risk assessments for staff and the community to see whether a workplace is safe.Speaking on BBC Breakfast, she said: “As we’ve seen in Leicester it only takes one cowboy employer to shut down a whole city.“We all have an interest in tough safety standards in the workplace.”.On how the workplace will change after the pandemic, she said: “I think people have an appetite for a bit more flexibility, we’re calling for the right for workers to be able to work flexibly from day one.“I suspect some of that will include working from home, not all the time but I think what people want is a bit more freedom and a bit more flexibility.“I think the world at work is going to change but we shouldn’t forget that millions of people have worked really hard through this crisis, whether they’re doing that in the workplace or very often from the kitchen table.”.Policing minister Kit Malthouse said first-time offenders found to have breached the “rule of six” restrictions should not be fined.Asked whether instances of people gathering in groups of seven or more, and from different households, should be met with a £100 fine per person, Mr Malthouse told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “No, police should start with encouraging them to comply and explaining to them what the situation is and impressing upon them the duty they have towards our collective health.“Only in the situation where individuals refuse to comply should police consider moving towards enforcement.”.He said guidance for police officers would be made available “in the next couple of days” from the College of Policing on how to apply the new regulations, which came into force on Monday.Martin Hewitt, chairman of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), said he accepted that rule changes were “confusing for the public”, as the coronavirus “rule of six” comes into force in England.Speaking on the challenges officers have faced in enforcing rules, he told BBC Breakfast: “This has been really challenging for policing over six months.“We had the initial universal lockdown, we’ve had changes since then, the public need to understand those changes.“We work with all our partners in local authorities, people who are running shops, people who are running other hospitality areas, we are part of the group that are trying to explain to members of the public what the rules are and encouraging people to comply with them.”.Commenting on news of a Nottingham teenager who was fined £10,000 for breaching coronavirus restrictions, Martin Hewitt, chairman of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), said it sent a “clear message” to the public.“I think it’s a real shame, that individual was given a number of opportunities to comply and to act in a different way and chose not to,” he told BBC Breakfast.“But I do think it’s equally important that that fine was issued and the message was sent very clearly to people.“Everybody finds the rules restrictive on our lives, every single person in the country is restricted in that way, but I think we’ve all got a responsibility to comply with the rules.”.Pub giant Wetherspoon has said about 32 million people have visited its pubs since they reopened their doors at the start of the July.Tim Martin, founder of the chain, told investors that he believes the safety of pubs during the pandemic has been “widely misunderstood”.The company said it has reported 66 positive tests for Covid-19 among its 41,564 employees since reopening.Martin added: “Trade was very quiet over the weekend, as the public weighed up the evidence about the alleged dangers of going out – Wetherspoon sales were 22.5% below the equivalent Saturday last year.“It is clearly not the case that pubs are ‘dangerous places to be’.“There have been more positive cases at one farm in Hereford than at all Wetherspoon pubs – and over four times as many at one sandwich-making facility in Northampton.”.Aldi UK has expanded into click and collect services for the first time.The supermarket chain has launched a trial for the service, which allows customers to place orders online before collecting in stores, from one store in the Midlands.It said it plans to extend the programme to more customers in “the coming weeks”.
