There's still time for residents to claim a 'Mayor of Warwick's Christmas voucher' - here's how you can claim one this week

There's still time for eligible residents to claim the 'Mayor of Warwick's Christmas Voucher'.

Thanks to the support of the Trustees of Henry VIII Endowed Trust the Mayor of Warwick, Cllr Terry Morris is once again able to provide Christmas Vouchers to residents aged over 75 years old living in CV34 postcodes.

Vouchers can be redeemed for £7.50 at one of the following Warwick outlets during the month of December; The Tuckery Café, CJs Market Stalls, Claridges, Rowley’s Butchers, Mel Broom Butchers and Warwick visitor information centre.

Vouchers are limited and it is hoped that people who do not need a voucher will leave them for residents who do, as the vouchers are not a statutory entitlement.

Liz Healey, manager of the visitor information centre, said: "Our plan is to have a stall at Warwick Market on Saturday December 5, where we will be able to hand out the 2020 Mayor’s Vouchers in the fresh air.

"The Mayor of Warwick will be joining us from 11am to noon to personally help hand out vouchers - so you can meet the Mayor to collect your voucher."

"If you are isolating this year please do not hesitate to phone the visitor information centre on 01926 492212, all we need is your name and address and we will come to your house to deliver your voucher.

"You then have up until the December 31 to redeem it.

"Of course, you are most welcome to come and collect your voucher in person at the visitor information centre in Jury Street when we hopefully reopen again on December 3 subject to government guidelines changing."

Vouchers can be collected on production of a pension card or bus pass (identification with name, address and date of birth), between 10am to 4pm from Thursday December 3.
