COUNCIL SET TO DISH OUT GRANTS TO OMICRON-HIT BUSINESSES IN HOSPITALITY SECTOR

GRANTS of up to £6,000 per premises are up for grabs to North East Lincolnshire businesses that serve the hospitality sector.

These include:

* Pubs

* Restaurants

* Leisure outlets

* Accommodation providers

The monies have been supplied to NELC by Whitehall to help ease the squeeze on incomes caused by challenging trading circumstances in the wake of the spread of the Omicron strain of coronavirus.

Many local businesses are thought to have experienced significantly reduced trade due to cancellations, closures or reduced trade due to staff sickness or isolation.

In addition to the above, the authority has been awarded £203,000 of Additional Restrictions Grant  to support businesses severely affected by Omicron but which do not fall into the above categories.

Applications for both schemes are open until midnight on 14 February 2022 with award decisions due to be made  by 28 February.  

All payments will be made before the 31 March 2022.
