Rother District Council has secured additional funding from Government of approximately £700,000 to continue to support businesses through the impact of COVID – 19.
Whilst some of this money will be used to meet the final grants from previous discretionary schemes, the Council has approved a new discretionary grant scheme, designed to have a longer legacy for local businesses and the Rother economy.
The scheme has been designed to provide support to businesses within five distinct areas:
- Businesses closed due COVID 19 isolation
- Rural Businesses
- Empty Shops
- Empty Businesses rated property
- Staff Training and Development
Further details on the scheme can be found on our Inward investment, grants and loans page.
