Great Yarmouth Borough Council is extending the application period for the “top-up payment” for eligible businesses trading within the hospitality, hotel or B&B, or leisure sectors or in the supply trade to those sectors.
This payment was launched before Christmas under the Additional Restrictions Support Grant scheme, and is for eligible businesses that have already received either a Local Restrictions Support Grant or an Additional Restrictions Support Grant.
The application deadline, originally ending on January 11, 2021, has been extended until midnight on Monday, 18th January, 2021 in order to give as many eligible businesses as possible the greatest opportunity to apply.
In addition, the council has extended, until the same deadline, the deadline for applications to the original Additional Restrictions Support Grant, which was first launched during the second national lockdown for eligible businesses.

Support during third national lockdown
The Government has announced financial support for businesses during this current lockdown, which includes additional discretionary funding, the new national lockdown grant and one-off top-up grants for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses worth up to £9,000 per property.
We are awaiting further guidance from Government and will promote these to businesses and make payments as soon as possible. Information will be available on the above webpage
