Extend the Job Support Scheme and Business Grants to those in Tier 2 locations.
Extend the JSS and grant schemes to all businesses and workers in Tier 2 locations who at present without government support will find themselves significantly worse off as a result of government restrictions. Than if you were in Tier 3 of which business are forced to close because of restrictions.
Failure of the government to provide support to the businesses and workers in Tier 2 locations will risk the survival of many businesses and risk thousands of jobs that would be protected if the Job Support Scheme and Business Grants were extended into Tier 2. The government has vowed to protect jobs and businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic however this latest set of restrictions and lack of support is the biggest threat to businesses and jobs since the pandemic started in March.
