A total of 150 buisnesses were reported for being open during lockdown in Trafford, but only 10 were actually breaking the rules.
Trafford Council has been dealing with complaints from across the borough and, despite getting more than 100 reports of businesses allegedly breaking Government guidelines, less than 10 per cent were actually in the wrong.
And of the 10 businesses that were open when they shouldn’t have been, the council spoke with owners and they all agreed to close – with no need for further action from officers.
The authority said it adopts a ‘warn and inform’ approach when dealing with its enforcement of the Government’s lockdown guidance.
