There are several new Government Support Grants available for businesses, which have been affected by, or experienced hardship due to local and national Covid restrictions. The details of these grants are listed on the Council’s website as linked here

To make the application process as simple as possible for businesses, the Council have created a single application form which covers all support grants.

Businesses should first review the different Grant criteria on their website to check for eligibility before completing the form. All applications will then be assessed to determine whether they meet any of the Grants criterion.

Where a business does not meet the criteria for a current Grant, their details will be retained and assessed against future Grant support schemes (e.g should we move into a new tier post lockdown) meaning that businesses will not have to re-apply.

If you run a business and have problems applying for the grants, do let me know, and I’ll do my best to help.
