To support our high streets throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, the Government has provided over £10.5 billion from the Small Business Grant Fund. In addition, to make it easier and safer to walk and cycle, the government has announced a £2 billion package, which includes £225 million in emergency funding for local authorities to help them create pop up cycle lanes and re-allocate road space.
