Time running out for grant applications
Time is running out to put in a claim for one of government grants open to the retail, hospitality and leisure industry businesses affected by the lockdowns from November 2020 to date.
Most of the borough’s businesses which qualify have already applied and secured their grant.
The council does not want any qualifying business to lose out as the deadline of 31 March approaches.
There could be as many as 300 business which are yet to apply, despite being contacted and reminded of their legal right to claim.
We are urging retail, hospitality and leisure business owners to look at their emails even though their business is closed.
They should have received an email which contains a link to the application pages on the council website.
The council is also attempting to contact 150 businesses by phone to encourage owners to make applications.
At no point will the business be asked to pay any money to access the grant and the link to the relevant application forms can be independently found on the Slough Borough Council website.
The deadline for all grants from November to 15 February 2021 is 31 March.
********
For grants relating to the lockdown relating to 15 February to 31 March 2021 the deadline to apply is 31 May, 2021.
However, if you have already applied for a related grant in lockdown’s from November onwards you will automatically receive the newest tranche of money.
