Independent town centre businesses in North Devon can apply for a small grant for improving shop fronts or other potential enhancement projects.
North Devon Council's Town Centre Enhancement Scheme was first launched in summer 2023 and encourages businesses to upgrade, repair and refurbish shopfronts in North Devon’s town centres.
The council will contribute up to 50% of total eligible project costs, with businesses expected to match the council’s contribution. The maximum grant available is £2000 or 50% of eligible project costs, whichever is the lower amount. The grant is ideal for supporting small repair or improvement projects such as fascia repairs, signage, painting and decorating, guttering, lighting and more. The deadline is 31st December 2024.
