Leamington night shelter looks set to get money needed to refurbish new premises
According to early reports the council will be giving the LWS Night Shelter, which is currently based at the Priors Club in Leamington, money so that they can make the necessary refurbishment work to their new premises on Packington Place.
The council had previously said that the night shelter could use the building if they raised £60,000 to refurbish and renovate the building.

The post, which was created by Steph Atkin, helped raise thousands for the shelter but also sparked comments that the council should have paid for the refurbishment work on the new premises.
Warwick District Council is due to release a statement later today.
