A man has been issued with Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) after driving through a Crewe town centre road closure, while a busy children's August Bank Holiday event was taking place.

Discover Crewe-on-Sea was a free, family-friendly seaside experience taking place from Saturday 23 August to Monday 25 August, running from 11am to 4pm each day.

The event transformed Lyceum Square into a colourful coastal pop-up, complete with real sand, a beach hut and boat, buckets and spades, hands-on entertainment, craft workshops and live performances.
