Market Traders Grant policy - How grants will be provided
6.1 In all cases, an application form is required, and this can be completed online
6.2 Supplementary information will also be required, and all businesses should look to provide this where requested to the Council as soon as possible. The application is largely self- certification, but applicants should be aware that the Council is obliged to manage the risk of fraud as outlined in section 16.
6.3 An application for a REPF Grant is deemed to have been made when a duly completed application form is received via the Council’s online procedure.
6.4 Projects will be assessed monthly by the Council’s panel, from December 2024 to January 2025. If all funds are allocated prior to January 2025, the programme will be closed to further applications. If funds are fully allocated prior to the final round of assessment, remaining eligible applications will be added to a waiting list to be reviewed if existing grant recipients drop out of the programme, so that their funding can be re-allocated.
6.5 Payments will be requested from successful applicants once the applications have been assessed. Successful applicants will be advised of their award amount when contacted about their application.
