Businesses in North East Lincolnshire are to be given access to a £4.5 million pot of cash as part of the government’s Covid-19 Additional Relief Fund.
Councillors will meet this month to decide how to distribute the money, part of a £1.5 billion national allocation to support businesses affected by the pandemic, but not eligible for existing business rate support. Initial figures suggest an average payment of just under £6,000.
It has been recommended as a business rate relief refund for the tax year 2021/2022, for companies outside the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors who have already benefited from help.
