A Conservative Club has been slapped with more than £3,000 worth of fines and costs after it did not file returns for three years.

Hatfield’s club appeared at Stevenage Magistrates’ Court on Friday after not supplying information to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for 2010, 2011 and 2012.

The Maynard House, in The Common, association was fined £900 for each of the three charges, must pay costs for £300, and a victim surcharge of £90.
