WARWICKSHIRE MEANS BUSINESS

More advice webinars will support the reopening of hospitality and leisure

WebinarWith the next milestone on the Government Roadmap out of Lockdown, Warwickshire County Council and its partners will host further webinars to provide information and advice for businesses operating in the hospitality and leisure sector.

From the week commencing May 17th, if all goes to plan with the roadmap, stage three will allow the reopening of indoor hospitality and other indoor leisure locations such as cinemas and children’s play areas; the rest of the accommodation sector, including hotels, hostels and B&Bs; and indoor adult group sports and exercise classes.

Taking place on May 4th and May 11th, the online sessions will provide a local focus for the national guidance, and the opportunity for business owners and managers to put questions to those on the panel, who are drawn from local authority regulatory and public health, as well as the police and fire service.

Businesses interested in taking part will not need to pre-register, but can just click on the links below at the relevant times to join the webinars. Earlier webinars have proved popular with businesses and voluntary groups, with 200 live attendees and over 400 views of the recordings on Youtube.

Other helpful links can be found on the County Council coronavirus business pages.

The roadmap, which is published on gov.uk, outlines four steps for easing restrictions. Before proceeding to the next step, the Government will examine the data to assess the impact of previous steps, but all going well the lockdown easing will follow these key dates.

The webinars are part of a range of business support provided to business by Warwickshire County Council during the pandemic crisis. This includes a £6million package of funding earmarked by Warwickshire County Council to support the immediate economic recovery in the county, and complements the recently announced joint initiative with Coventry and Solihull councils to promote the COVID Secure Business Pledge.
