News in Kenilworth

Kenilworth is set to swelter in heatwave conditions from today through to early next week - with top temperatures hitting 32C.

The annual excitement that somewhere in the UK is hotter than Ibiza is certainly true today!

Kenilworth Wardens first team played their first proper match since March last night, against local rivals Balsall and Berkswell FC.

Wardens, whose first team are set to play in Coventry Alliance division two this season, lined up against a Balsall and Berkswell side that will be two divisions above them for the 2020/21 campaign.

A new opportunity has opened for Kenilworth artists to apply for funding for their work. Coventry City of Culture Trust, in partnership with Unlimited – a national arts commissioning programme – have opened applications for ten local artists to receive up to £1000 commission for their work.

The scheme is open for anyone who is d/Deaf, disabled, and/or neurodivergent, and lives or regularly works within a CV postcode. Disabilities are defined by the social model approach.

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'.
