The pandemic has been a very difficult time for businesses across the borough and we would like to thank all those businesses who have helped to prevent the spread of COVID-19 locally by following the latest guidance.
As we look ahead to the road out of the latest lockdown, we are committed to continuing our support for businesses to help them adapt. This includes distributing emergency funding support, with over £60 million in grants and rate reliefs delivered since March 2020, and helping businesses with the latest government guidance.
We will be working closely with our town centre partners, including Basingstoke Together BID, The Malls and Festival Place to ensure that when the town centre is able to reopen, shoppers can look forward to a safe and enjoyable experience.
