Give businesses forced to remain closed past 4th July 2020 a 2nd business grant
We request that the government give all businesses that are forced to remain closed after the 4th July 2020 a second business grant of the same value as the first grant given as we have had to stay closed for twice as long as most.
Businesses made to close 23/03/20 by the government. The government gave grants based on business rates for non essential businesses with premises.
Non essential retail were reopened 5/6/20 followed by all other businesses 4/7/20 except
Nightclubs
Bowling
Indoor skating rinks
Indoor play areas
Beauty, Tattoo, piercing studios
Indoor gyms, sports venues
Swimming pools
Exhibition centres
These businesses are expected to survive on the same grant given to all.
This is economically unjust.
