BUSINESS owners in Henley say the grants being offered by the Government will not be enough to offset the damage of the latest lockdown.
People in retail, hospitality and leisure can apply for between £4,000 and £9,000 per property depending on its rateable value.
This is part of a £4.6 billion package announced by the Treasury, while the employee furlough scheme has been extended to April.
The national lockdown has forced all non-essential businesses to close for the third time since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, meaning they still have bills to pay while receiving no income.
