The Shop Front Improvement Grant is available to both existing businesses and owners of currently vacant units within the town centres of Newark, Ollerton and Southwell, who can prove a definite need to improve the physical appearance of the shop front, benefitting both the business and making a visible improvement to the town centre.

Grants can be used towards professional painting and decorating services, repair and the replacement of fascias and signs and are only available to independent retailers. Larger chains or multiple retail organisations will not qualify.

The grants on offer are up to 50% of the total project cost up to a maximum of £1000.
