Hello, I’m Cllr Tony Dale, Cabinet Member for the Economy and Skills. More grant funding is on the way for businesses after the government issued guidance for the next tranche of payments.
It will cover the period from 16 February to 31 March and the good news is that the Council will automatically pay those eligible businesses which have already successfully received a grant. There is no need to re-apply and payments will be paid automatically to bank accounts. Please bear with us while we process grants to over 2,000 businesses.
