A WOMAN faces a fine for not paying her TV licence.
Niamh Bacon, 28, of Parsons Piece, Banbury, was convicted last year of using a TV on or about October 1 2020 having not paid her licence fee.
At Oxfordshire Magistrates' Court on Friday May 20, her application to reopen the case was refused as she did not attend.
It is a criminal offence to watch live TV or use BBC iPlayer unless you have a valid TV licence. Without one, you risk prosecution and can be issued a fine of up to £1,000, plus court costs.
If you don't have a licence or fail to repay your arrears, you could receive a court fine.
