AND TOWN'S FOODBANK WILL BE A WINNER AS EVENT IS SET TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE TRUSSELL TRUST NETWORK

The third phase of Warwickshire County Council's Discretionary Grant Fund has been opened to small businesses in Kenilworth this week.

The scheme, which was announced by the Government at the beginning of May has been managed at a local authority level, across the nation. Warwickshire County Council have been allocated £1,738,000 under the programme. This figure is not intended to be exceeded, even if not every eligible business receives funding.

Electric vehicle owners in Kenilworth will now be able to apply for a free parking permit from the town council.

The permit scheme is being run in conjunction with Warwickshire County Council, and will provide free parking for all electric vehicles in council-run car parks across the district, all day, every day.

TWENTY-FIVE Kenilworth eateries will begin to roll out the UK Government's 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme as of today, and will be offering this incentive until 31 August.

The nationwide programme will see over 72,000 venues across the country offer customers 50% off the price of food and drink purchases, Monday to Wednesday each week.

As Kenilworth and the rest of the nation continue to emerge from the last 15 months of social restrictions, an emphasis is now being placed on safely returning to normality.

Nowhere is this truer than for the Covid-19 Support Kenilworth Group which is now rebranding as 'Compassionate Kenilworth'.
