Coronavirus - business advice and support

Government guidance on the closure of all retailers that sell non-essential goods and other non-essential premises, as part of further social distancing measures has been updated to include additional details to the list of businesses and premises that must remain closed.

Guidance has also been added on work carried out in people’s homes.

Car parking

NHS staff can park free of charge in any council owned car parks (with the exception of Regent Arcade car park). NHS staff wishing to use our car parks should display their permit available from their employer. Staff working in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have been allocated designated parking.

Accommodation

In line with the latest government advice, the majority of businesses providing accommodation in and around Cheltenham have taken steps to close for commercial use.

However, the government has confirmed that certain exclusions apply, including where accommodation is being provided for key workers or vulnerable groups.

A list of accommodation providers in the area that are remaining open to meet this need is currently being compiled by Marketing Cheltenham.
