Rushcliffe Borough Council has now outlined its plans to ensure vital central government grants reach businesses affected by the current Tier 3 COVID-19 restrictions.
Eligible businesses can now apply for the funding at
www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/businesscoronavirus that is over and above any previous grant support.
To qualify for a grant, owners must occupy a property listed as liable for national non-domestic rates and have been instructed to close in line with the current Tier 3 restrictions in the Borough from December 2.
Those who already applied for a grant during the national lockdown period will be contacted with details of how to reapply.
All grants will be processed as quickly as possible with owners asked to ensure all supporting documents are included with any application.
The news builds on the authority having distributed over £1.7m of further vital central government grants in November to nearly 500 eligible businesses, totalling over £21m in grants this year.
Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Deputy Leader Cllr Andy Edyvean said: “It’s good news these further grants are now available so we can quickly distribute them to so many businesses in the hospitality sector and other industries who need them.
“We’ll continue to act rapidly to assist central government in managing the impacts of COVID-19 wherever we can.”
