Businesses impacted by the continuing national lockdown, and not eligible for the Local Restrictions Support Grant (Closed Addendum), may be eligible for the Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) scheme.
Phase 2 of the ARG scheme is currently accepting applications for the lockdown in November 2020, Tier 2 and 3 restrictions in December and the lockdown period of January to 15 February 2021.
Phase 3 of the council's ARG scheme will cover the lockdown from 16 February to 31 March 2021, and open for applications by 19 March.
Businesses awarded an ARG payment for the November and/or January lockdowns will receive a council email about the latest grant by 12 March - they do not need to reapply.
Details on other economic support measures for businesses are due to be announced at the national Budget, on 3 March.
Information on grant payments after March 2021 will be updated on the council's website, as the Government announces further details.
