Pubs in Crawley have reportedly been sending information about paid lock-ins. Officers said their licensing officers would be checking every pub in the area to ensure all establishments were sticking to the government guidelines. They tweeted to remind the public that it's important to stay home, and this time is not to be treated as a holiday. Police said they also attended a number of reports of house parties and neighbourhood gatherings over the weekend.

We've also been hearing of local pubs sending information about paid lock ins, also ignoring any lock down rule currently in place. Our licensing officers will be checking EVERY pub in the area to ensure all establishments are keeping to the guidelines. #EA017 #CRAWLEY #ESECTION
