The Local Restrictions Support Grant (Open) discretionary scheme is aimed at businesses that were not legally forced to close but were severely impacted by the localised social restrictions, October 14 to November 4.
The Local Restrictions Support Grant (Closed) mandatory scheme is for those legally required to close when Nottinghamshire entered tier three on October 30, or at the start of national lockdown on November 5.
The Local Restrictions Grant (Sector) scheme is available to businesses that were legally required to close on March 23 and have remained closed.
