We await further guidance about central Government grant support and how this will be disseminated. Further information on the extended rate relief scheme has now been published [https://bit.ly/2xiT2k0].
The council is working with WECA to co-ordinate a list of businesses affected, and aggregate the impact across the city including for some types of businesses not currently covered by the support measures announced by central government.
Information on latest reliefs and support announced nationally is available on the council website [https://bit.ly/33EHljR]. Business West is putting in place resources and a digital triage platform to enable them to support our members, customers and also other businesses and in particular SMEs and self-employed people through the next few weeks. The portal can be accessed via this link [https://bit.ly/33FBMkY].
