More grants have been made available to Kenilworth businesses impacted by Covid-19 and the Omicron variant.

One-off payments are available to non-rated businesses in the hospitality or leisure sectors, supply chain businesses or personal care providers such as hair salons.

The news follows a similar announcement for pubs and cafes earlier this month.

As this is a new scheme, Warwick District Council is urging businesses to check the criteria and apply as soon as possible.

Deputy leader Cllr Richard Hales added: "These are grants, not loans and can be applied for in a safe and secure way.

"I would urge everyone who falls within these new criteria to take five minutes to check they're eligible and get their application to us."

Applications will close at 4pm on Friday 11 February 2022.

Full details including the application form can be found online here.
