Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC) is inviting applications to a Flooding Hardship Scheme, which is part of a package of funding from the Department for Economy (DfE).
The purpose of the Flooding Hardship Scheme is to provide support to businesses and some other non-domestic premises that were impacted by the flooding in October/November 2023 but were not eligible for the previous £7,500 payment or the Enhanced Flood Support Scheme.
Applicants will have two options to choose from during the process dependent on the level of eligible costs incurred, or to be incurred.
Option 1 will provide a £5,000 hardship payment to eligible SME businesses and other non-domestic occupants of premises that were flooded and suffered financial hardship but were not eligible for the £7,500 scheme or the Enhanced Flood Support Scheme.
Option 2 will provide a £2,500 hardship payment to eligible SME businesses and other non-domestic occupants of premises that were not flooded but were unable to access their premises as a direct result of the flooding and hence unable to trade.
NMDDC are running an online information session in relation to the Flood Hardship Scheme next Thursday 21st March from 12:30pm – 1:30pm which you can register for via the link below.
