POLICE have removed sunbathers from parks in Warrington.

Officers say they have had reports of people spending time in the sunny Friday weather.

A spokesman for Warrington Police said: "We've already had reports of persons sunbathing on; Orford Park, Bank Park and Beaumont High School - all persons removed from the area and we will continue to monitor."

Police have been given extra powers to move people in during the coronavirus outbreak.

People are being asked to stay inside unless necessary and only make one trip outside a day for exercise or shopping.
