"“This is particularly exciting for our hospitality sector businesses, who are now allowed to serve customers indoors with the required social distancing measures in place.

“This will make a huge difference to those that have not had the space to trade outdoors and of course, for customers who can now enjoy the warmth and certainty of indoor dining."

She also that the move will benefit those businesses that have already reopened.

“It will also support the wider town centre economy as stopping into a café or having lunch out is an important part of the wonderful shopping experience that Leamington town centre offers," she added.

“We are not yet out of the woods with respect to safely managing the impact of Covid-19 so we continue to urge everyone to continue to keep safe and remember ‘hands – face – space’.”
