Local businesses forced to close by the national coronavirus lockdown can apply for funding to help them through the latest financial difficulties. Bury has been allocated £3 million to distribute to eligible companies who pay business rates, covering the period from 5 November to 2 December.

Local Restrictions Support Grants provide financial help to businesses required to close during local and national lockdowns, including pubs, betting shops and soft play centres. The latest national lockdown affects non-essential retail, hospitality venues, accommodation, leisure and sports facilities, entertainment venues and personal care facilities. 

To see if you are eligible for a grant, and to apply for one, go to the council’s website here: https://www.bury.gov.uk/covid19grants
