Covid: Black Lion, Aberaeron, fined for selling alcohol

The Black Lion in Aberaeron was caught by council public protection officers breaching rules

A pub has been fined £1,000 for breaking Covid rules.

Pubs have been banned since 4 December from selling alcohol and must also close at 18:00 GMT every day.

But the Black Lion in Aberaeron, Ceredigion, was caught by council public protection officers breaching both of those rules.

Ceredigion council said the fine was issued on 9 December and warned other businesses would be fined if they were caught flouting rules.
