    Police said they continued to be called to house parties in Nottingham over the weekend, despite a dispersal order being in place in parts of the city to prevent Covid rule breaches.

    Police imposed the 48-hour order at 18:00 on Saturday after issuing 59 fines for Covid-19 regulation breaches in one night.

    The order, which runs until 18:00 today, covers parts of Lenton, the Arboretum and the city centre and gives police the power to ask people to leave the area and arrest those causing disruption.
