Fylde Borough Council, GB adopts vacant premises program that moves businesses into empty shops
Council leaders selected the town centers of Kirkham, Lytham, and St. Annes for the nine-month project. The borough covers up to 50% of the cost of outfitting vacant shops up to £10,000 per recipient. Qualified applicants are sole proprietors or local chains with in-person offerings that move into street-level storefronts. This funding program prioritizes businesses that fill local service gaps and retrofits that protect against COVID-19 transmission with measures like plastic shields.
