Traders in Ottery St Mary have one last chance to apply for funding to revamp the outside of their businesses.

Following its launch in April, the town council's third Shop Front Fund scheme, offering up to £500 or half project costs, closes on Friday, May 31.

The grants are accessible to a variety of traders including shops and restaurants within the parish.

An Ottery St Mary Town Council spokesperson said: "The idea behind the scheme is to improve the look of the town making it more attractive for residents and tourists.

"The scheme is open now and applications must be received by May 31, 2024, with work completed by June 30."

Previous beneficiaries include Rabbit & Co and The Coffee Bank.
