New Local COVID Business Grant and Support Schemes Launched

The application process for two Folkestone & Hythe COVID grants schemes to support businesses during the current national lockdown period have been launched today: one for businesses in business rated premises forced to close by the current lockdown rules, and a second for those outside those criteria but still being harmed.

Folkestone & Hythe Local Restrictions Support Grants (LSRSGs) - grants are available to businesses located in business rated premises that are legally required to close during the lockdown period. Eligible businesses should receive a letter or email from the Business Rates team in the next few days.
