The Local Restrictions Support Grant (LRSG) was announced on 9 September to support businesses in England that are required to close during enhanced local restrictions introduced in areas by Her Majesty’s Government to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

On 9 October, my Rt. Hon. Friend Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer announced changes to the grants within this scheme to provide further support to businesses required to close due to local restrictions.

These grants will be issued for each two-week period that a business is closed following the implementation of statutory localised restrictions and business closures.

The Government continues to monitor local restrictions and will work closely with any Local Authorities that become eligible for this grant scheme.
