EALING Council has reopened applications for the local restrictions support grant for businesses who may not have applied for the national lockdown grant during the last application window, or for those that their circumstances have now changed.

You can apply if your business was forced to close during the second national lockdown in November or since the third national lockdown at the start of the year.

In order to apply, your business must have been trading in the period prior to the lockdown restrictions and be liable for business rates in Ealing borough.

If you have already received a business grant for the lockdown periods, you shouldn't apply again, as no additional payments will be made.

The council has so far distributed over £97 million worth of grants and £59 million in reliefs.

Deadline for applications is Monday, February 22 and those wishing to submit an online application can click HERE.
