Closure dates for the Local Restrictions Support Grants (LRSG) have recently been announced by the Government.
All applications for the LRSG schemes must be submitted by the national deadline of 31 March 2021. The four LRSG schemes apply to eligible businesses impacted by the national and local restrictions in place from 5 November 2020.
The council's Additional Restrictions Grant Scheme (ARG) for the Harrogate district is now closed for new applications. Plans for a potential phase 3 of the Scheme are currently on hold, until information on any further funding is known.
The national Budget in early March announced the Restart Grants, to support eligible businesses as they are allowed to reopen. The Government is due to publish detailed guidance on these grants in late March, with funding to be awarded from April.
Updates on locally distributed grant funding schemes will continue to be published on the council's website at www.harrogate.gov.uk/business - please keep checking for any changes.
Advice on local support, including health, financial and welfare assistance is also available at www.harrogate.gov.uk/coronavirus.
