A grant was given to small businesses which complied with certain criteria, ie are eligible for business rates relief on premises. Helping keeping them afloat by coving rent, bills etc while work is slow or none existant due to lock downs impossed to stop the spread of COVID 19.
Repeat the grant.
More details
The initial grant was made to cover the initial lock down (3 weeks at the time) in March.
Small businesses have to repeat the struggle without a repeat of the help.
It is therefore asked that the grant is repeated for each subsequent lock down.
