Businesses are being given advice on how to get back on their feet following the recent riots.

Lambeth council is holding an advice surgery for businesses to learn more about recovery services. People will also be given help filling out compensation forms.

All compensation claims under the Riot (Damages) Act 1886 must be made within 42 days of an incident occurring.

Lambeth Council Deputy Leader, Councillor Jackie Meldrum, said: "Businesses are at the heart of the local community and economy and we are pulling together to help them get their feet back on the ground.

"These workshops are about reaching out to local businesses to let them know that we have created a range of specialist support services to help them through this very difficult time."

The first surgery session will be held at Olive Morris House, Brixton Hill, this Thursday (August 25) from 5pm to 7pm.
