Coronavirus lockdown checkpoint in place on main Cirencester road

A coronavirus lockdown checkpoint is in place on a main road in Cirencester this afternoon.

Police officers from Gloucestershire Constabulary are stopping vehicles just over the Wiltshire border to crack down to check whether motorist’s journeys out of the home are essential.

The officers are stationed on Grove Lane, just off the A417.

Checkpoints were set up in Salisbury late on Thursday evening, but we are expected to see them around the county more regularly in the coming days.

Wiltshire Police sergeant Dave Whitby said “it is clear that some people are operating under the perception that we will not make arrests or take enforcement action, however this is not the case”, and told residents that “our custody suite is open and available to us” along with a range of court fines.
