Kenilworth Town Council has this week launched a new initiative to welcome new residents to the town so they feel part of the local community.

After months of work on the project, the council has this week launched a new leaflet for estate agents and new build developers to give to all new residents when they move into the town.

Leaflets include details of community activities, regular events, sports groups, leisure facilities and details of the residents' pass for entry to Kenilworth Castle.

The leaflet will be printed and made available online.

The print costs of the leaflet have been paid for by Warwick District Council.

When new community groups are created and new regular community events become established, these will be added to subsequent editions of the leaflet.

Launching the new initiative Cllr Alan Chalmers, Mayor of Kenilworth, said: "The council is very conscious that over the next few years the town will welcome lots of new residents - both homeowners and tenants.

"Our aim is to encourage and enable them to feel part of community life here and to get involved and shape all that makes Kenilworth such a great place in which to live".
