A total of 32 people have been given Covid fines for holding or going to house parties in Leamington and Kenilworth over the weekend.

It was another busy weekend for Warwickshire Police, with 45 people across the county being reported for fines for breaching Covid regulations across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

There were 25 fines in Leamington and seven in Kenilworth.
