Leader of Corby Borough Council, Cllr Tom Beattie, said: “During this difficult time, we understand that there are local businesses out there who are struggling to keep their business afloat and we want to ensure that all those affected are aware that there is help available to you. If you have not previously qualified for one of our grants, I am pleased to say that we are now offering a further Additional Restrictions Grant and would urge local businesses to check their eligibility and apply if appropriate. I would also urge all of those organisations who have not applied for any grant up to now to please look in to this and take advantage of the help offered to you.

“I hope this will help lots of organisations and I look forward to seeing the local economy get back on its feet in the future when the time is right.”
