<p>The Local Restrictions Support Grant (LRSG) announced on 9 September provides support
to businesses required to close as part of localised restrictions to control Covid-19.
On 9 October, government increased the cash grants to businesses eligible under the
LRSG to up to £3,000 per month for each hereditament required to close as a result
of restrictions. Grants will be issued for each two-week period that a business is
closed following the implementation of statutory localised restrictions and business
closures.</p><p>Business closures in Bolton triggered the LRSG on Wednesday 30 September.
We have worked closely with Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council to ensure they can
distribute grants to eligible businesses as quickly as possible and will adjust their
funding allocation so businesses are able to benefit from the increased grant amount
from the beginning of their closure period. We continue to monitor local restrictions
across the country and are ready to provide LRSG funding to other local authorities
as appropriate.</p>
