Businesses and organisations in Crediton, Cullompton and Tiverton town centres can now apply for funding to improve and enhance their shopfronts, following the relaunch of Mid Devon District Council’s shopfront grant scheme. This grant is specifically designed to help local small businesses, registered charities and social enterprises improve and enhance their business shopfronts.
The scheme, now known as the Shopfront Refresh Scheme, offers grants of up to £2,500 towards eligible improvement works, up to 70% of eligible project costs.
The grant supports the upgrade, repair, and refurbishment of shopfronts*, helping businesses or organisations show what makes them distinctive while maintaining or improving the historic look and feel of the town centre.
Eligible works may include new or improved signage, minor external repairs, exterior painting, and decoration, and, if applicable, the restoration of traditional shopfront features.
Scheme guidance, town centre boundary maps and access to the online application form are available through the Council’s Let’s Talk Mid Devon portal.
Businesses and organisations considering an application are encouraged to contact the Council’s Economic Development team to discuss their proposal before applying at businessgrants@middevon.gov.uk.
