West Malling barber ignores lockdown rules despite police warnings

I will only close if I'm very ill or dead.

That's the strong message from one barber in West Malling who says he's ignoring the new government lockdown restrictions coming into effect today.

Met Warwick says he did not consent to the closure of his business and has already been visited by Kent Police and Trading Standards.

Health experts in the county have branded his defiance as irresponsible and putting lives at risk.
