Self-employed can apply for second grant
Lone traders and small partnerships whose businesses have been hit by Covid-19 can now apply for the second instalment of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme.
You have until October 19, 2020 to make your claim which is worth 70% of your average monthly trading profits.
Self-employed people can still apply for the grant, even if they did not apply for the first one, which closed in July.
The grant which covers 3 months’ worth of profits, that were adversely affected on or after 14 July 2020, could be worth as much as £6,570.
To learn more about the scheme check out the Government website here (external link).
New programme to support walking and cycling
Community groups and organisations across London can now apply for support with active travel, through the Walking and Cycling Grants London (WCGL) programme.
Grants of up to £10,000, over three years, are available to support projects and programmes that remove barriers to walking and cycling and enable communities to enjoy the benefits of active travel during the coronavirus pandemic.
The programme also promotes confidence in participants, provides upskilling opportunities, enables greater physical, social and economic mobility, improves physical and mental health, reduce social exclusion and strengthens communities.
The deadline for applications is Thursday 15 October at 5pm.
Find more information about the scheme and how to apply at wcgl.london (external link) or contact the grants administrators at wcgl@groundwork.org.uk with any queries.
Tenants protected until March 2021
Landlords must provide at least a six months’ notice period prior to seeking possession through the courts in most cases.
The new law means that tenants will have until March 2021 before they can be evicted from a property.
However, the legislation does not cover those responsible for anti-social behaviour and domestic abuse perpetrators.
For a full breakdown on what the new laws mean for both tenants and landlords you can find the information here (external website).
