Islington Council to open LRSG ‘Restart Grant’ Scheme in April

The LRSG Restart Grant scheme announced in the spring Budget will support businesses in reopening safely as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Grants will be available from early April 2021.

For non-essential retail premises the following thresholds apply:

  • Rateable value over £15,000 and less than £51,000 = payment of £4,000
