This podcast discusses the current lockdown, examining important measures that Local Authorities have implemented to safeguard livelihoods across our county. Each local authority is responsible for administering essential funds, and our officers here in Northants are working hard to pay out grants to local business. It’s February 2021 and we’re into month two of the latest lockdown. The nature of this pandemic means that things change fast, and all information is correct at time of recording.
