CBC News – Additional Restrictions Grant
Central Beds Council will be launching a further round of Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) this September, enabling more businesses to access grant funding.
The scheme will be open to:
- Businesses who have not previously received an additional restrictions grant
- Taxi drivers licenced by Central Bedfordshire Council
- Businesses in the Travel, Tourism and Events sector who previously received a Restart Grant
- Businesses that would have qualified for a Restart Grant but didn’t apply during the application window (April 6, 2021 – June 30, 2021)
Any business that has already been allocated funding under the ARG scheme will not be eligible for any further funding at this time.
Grants will be awarded at the end of the application window in order that demand can be determined.
As well as the further ARG scheme, CBC are partnering with Cranfield School of Management, Central Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce, South East Midlands Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) and University of Bedfordshire to deliver a comprehensive package of support to businesses.
For more information, including when applications open will be posted on the CBC website (https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/info/26/public_health/737/coronavirus_-_covid-19/7).
