Creating a subsidised package for the local businesses to adapt their business for online sales: * shops - online sales & delivery booking * hotels and guest houses - online reservations * farms - online recruitment etc. This idea can be realised on the basis of the existing package by Artist Digital - https://step2digital.co.uk/ Using some emergency funding this option can be realised for a significantly discounted price for businesses. It would enable their independence and resilience.
The subsidies have to be obtained to insure that by supporting one business we don't exploit another.
