The Government has announced an unprecedented package of financial measures to support businesses through the COVID-19 pandemic, worth £350 billion. This includes providing local authorities with a total of £3.2bn to support the COVID-19 response to the pandemic at the local level. These wide-ranging measures are providing support for businesses of all sizes.

The Department for Transport has encouraged Gosport Ferry Company to consider options from the wide range of financial support measures introduced by the Government to support UK businesses, and has also worked closely with Portsmouth, Gosport and Hampshire councils to explore local funding options.
