Latest Business Support From East Riding Of Yorkshire Council - 23/11/20
East Riding Of Yorkshire Council are pleased to provide our latest Covid-19 business support update. This week it provides an update on the Additional Restrictions Grant, which has now gone live.
Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) scheme
The Government has provided funding to the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, to support businesses who have been severely affected by the national and Local Covid Alert Level 3 (Tier 3) restrictions and are not eligible to claim a grant under the other available schemes.
For period one of this scheme (4th November to 2nd December) eligible businesses are identified as:
• Those which have been mandated to close, who do not have a rateable value and cannot claim under the Local Restrictions Support Grant schemes and have on-going fixed property related costs.
• Businesses who are not mandated to close but are an essential retail or are part of the supply chain to the leisure, hospitality, retail and accommodation sectors.
