Discussions held over covid recovery grants in Calderdale
Coun Sophie Whittaker asked Cabinet member for Regeneration and Strategy, Coun Jane Scullion about administration of the Restart Grants available to businesses in fields including leisure, hospitality and personal care from April 1.
She asked why Calderdale was only opening up application to the grants from April 15 when other neighbouring authorities including Kirklees and Leeds had done so much sooner.
“Will there be provision in place so businesses are not waiting a month like the last round?” said Coun Whittaker (Con, Rastrick)
Coun Scullion (Lab, Luddenden Foot) said everyone wanted business to get off to a good start following lockdown and there were reasons why Calderdale was opening the scheme later.
