Huge projects which have created hundreds of jobs, some much-needed joy and a sense of a city going places were delivered in the last 12 months - despite the global pandemic.
Businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors are to receive a one off lockdown grant, announced today (5 January) by the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak.
Plymouth City Council is reminding eligible businesses to apply for the Local Restrictions Support Grant and the Additional Restrictions Grant by 17 December to ensure they receive the funding before the end of the year.
Plymouth City Council has unveiled plans to support city businesses that have been most impacted by the current national coronavirus restrictions but were unable to claim financial support from previous grant schemes.
This means the lockdown restrictions will end and shops, schools, indoor leisure, entertainment, places of worship and hotels can all open in a covid-secure way.
We opened the application process for the Local Restrictions Support Grant scheme on Monday and since then, 1,070 Plymouth businesses have applied for financial support.
Plymouth businesses that have been forced to close due to the national COVID-19 restrictions will now be able to apply for financial support through Plymouth City Council.
There are two grant schemes that will be available for businesses and we have been moving fast to get these up and running, ready for businesses to apply for much needed financial support.
Workers across the United Kingdom will benefit from increased support with a five-month extension of the furlough scheme into Spring 2021, the Chancellor announced today, 5 November.
