The husband and wife owners of a Covid-breach cafe have been hauled to court and fined. One claimed the Covid-19 pandemic was 'Nazi government propaganda' when council officers paid a visit.
Manchester city council said Kate and Luc Cafe, in Burnage, once hosted almost 30 customers during a period of coronavirus lockdown and 'repeatedly flouted Covid-19 restrictions'.
The cafe, on Burnage Lane, was closed by the council for three months in February, 2021, and subsequently had its alcohol licence stripped following numerous and repeated complaints, a town hall spokesman said.
