Coronavirus
Support for businesses

The government has removed remaining domestic restrictions in England. There are still steps you can take to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19:
- Get vaccinated
- Let fresh air in if meeting indoors, or meet outside
- Consider wearing a face covering in crowded, enclosed spaces
Business support grants
In response to the recent restrictions to suppress the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Government has announced a series of measures to support businesses.
These grants are funded by the Government which we administer to our local businesses.
