Businesses financially impacted by the second lockdown in Babergh and Mid Suffolk can get support.

There's just one week left to apply for funding from the Additional Restrictions Grant.

It's available for those who had to close or suffered a "significant" financial loss.

Cllr Michael Holt, Babergh District Council, cabinet member for economic growth said:

“The two support grants which are now open are designed to support local businesses through the national lockdown and I urge businesses who have not yet applied to do so as soon as possible. Even if businesses were offering a click and collect service during lockdown, they may still qualify, and I am sure that any financial support can go a long way after such a difficult year.”

Cllr Gerard Brewster, Deputy Leader of Mid Suffolk District Council and cabinet member for economic growth said:

“The Additional Restrictions Grant is aimed at businesses who may not necessarily have had to close their doors but were significantly affected by the lockdown none the less. The deadline for applications is fast approaching and I encourage business owners to check the criteria and find out if they could benefit from this grant.”
