Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) – Discretionary Grants Scheme Phase 1 New!

Decision maker:  Executive

Decision due:   2 Dec 2020

Lead officer:  Andrew Kupusarevic

Notice of proposed decision first published: 24/11/2020

Reason for urgency:
On 5 November 2020, when new national restrictions were imposed by Government, all Local Authorities triggered the start of the Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG). Under the ARG, Local Authorities are able to support local businesses through discretionary grant schemes as well as through other wider support measures. The focus of any support must be on businesses significantly impacted by any restrictions put in place to control the spread of Covid-19. In order to achieve the Government's objective a Localised policy needs to be put in place to support those businesses at the earliest opportunity. This item is therefore deemed as urgent.

Anticipated restriction: Open  -
