Throughout this pandemic, I have been very involved in helping many businesses locally to access various forms of COVID-19 financial support, and local feedback has helped to shape aspects of the various schemes. I therefore wanted to draw attention to the new Discretionary Restart Grant Scheme and the Local Business Hardship Fund, being administered through North Northamptonshire Council, which is now available to support businesses that are still facing disruption to reopen safely as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
