Four students fined £10,000 each for house party during Tier 2 lockdown

They told police they were "spoiling their fun"

Four students at Nottingham Trent University have received fines of £10,000 each after holding a house party while Tier 2 lockdown restrictions were in place in the region. The students, who live in Lenton, Nottingham, held the party on Tuesday night, just hours before the implementation of the harshest lockdown restrictions currently available in the United Kingdom. Nottingham had the highest rate of Covid-19 restrictions for nine days in a row at one point during October, and under Tier 2 restrictions, the mixing of two households is banned. When police were called to their house, they were reportedly told by the students that everyone had gone home, before inquiring and finding a further 30 people inside. They were said to be hiding in a number of rooms around the house
