On Armistice Day, 11 November, Chief Fire Officer Ben Brook will attend the service at All Saints Church in Bedworth. A two-minute silence will be held at 11am across the region at all venues. Other Warwickshire Fire and Rescue representatives will be attending services across the county.

Warwickshire’s Lord Lieutenant, Tim Cox, who is the King’s representative in the county, is attending and laying a wreath at Rugby. Deputy Lieutenants will also be attending and laying wreaths around the county.

We know the best way to improve our services is by considering the needs and perspective of those with lived experience of adult social care now or in the past and this event is the right place to have those open and honest conversations.

The next Over A Brew event will focus on the importance of relationships in social care and how positive relationships are fundamental to providing the highest quality of care.

A £1.50 parking fee has been introduced for visits of less than an hour, providing a tempting option for visitors popping in for a quick coffee or short dog walk.

Visitors looking to further explore the 62.5 hectares of the park, uncover its rich mining history, or try out the recently refurbished play area, can enjoy a full day’s stay for £3.30.

To support residents in staying safe, warm, and well this winter, Warwickshire County Council is working with partners to raise awareness of the information and advice available to help support those who may be particularly vulnerable during this time of year.

Innovative businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire are urged to apply for a share of up to £4.35 million to drive innovation and business growth.

Through its Launchpad programme for Coventry and Warwickshire, Innovate UK has already awarded the area more than £3 million to provide funding, support, and networking opportunities to help businesses to innovate, grow and scale-up.

This award follows a competitive tender process aimed at promoting sustainability, reducing waste, and supporting local charitable initiatives. The new contract, which commences on 5 November 2024, will run for a term of up to 10 years.

The reuse shops, located at centres in Lower House Farm, Hunters Lane, Princes Drive, Burton Farm, Cherry Orchard, Wellesbourne, and Shipston, play a key role in reducing waste and promoting the reuse of goods.
