A new grant scheme for East Devon businesses affected by the local restrictions period between early December and early January has been launched this week.
East Devon District Council is also working to ensure that further financial support for businesses impacted by the current national lockdown is made available as soon as possible.
Businesses which could remain open but have been severely financially affected by Tier 2 and Tier 3 restrictions from December 2 to January 4 can now apply for Local Restrictions Support Grants.
Last week, the council’s cabinet approved the policies for new grant schemes covering January’s lockdown as well as the launch of a further round of the discretionary scheme – the Additional Restrictions Grant.
Financial support available for Herefordshire companies affected by the lockdown HUNDREDS of businesses across Herefordshire that have been affected by the current national Covid-19 lockdown restrictions could benefit from a new discretionary grant support. The grants are available for businesses and registered charities within Herefordshire that do not have a business rate assessment and that have been mandated to close during the latest national lockdown, or have lost at least 50% of business turnover for January 2021 as a result of the restrictions. The Discretionary Grant Fund 3 and Exceptional Circumstances Fund 2, managed by Herefordshire Council, are for businesses impacted by the latest Covid-19 restrictions introduced from 5 January 2021, but not eligible for the Local Restrictions Support Grant.
