Force apologises to women who were penalised for travelling five miles from their homes for exercise
Two women who were each fined £200 after travelling to a reservoir about five miles from their homes for a walk have had their fines rescinded, Derbyshire police said.
Jessica Allen and Eliza Moore were handed fixed penalty notices (FPNs) at Foremark reservoir last Wednesday. Derbyshire police said the women could have stayed closer to home and their actions were “clearly not in the spirit of the national effort” to reduce travel and the spread of coronavirus.
