As the nation continues on the road out of lockdown, Great Yarmouth Borough Council is distributing further grants to support businesses in the borough.
This phase (phase 4) of Additional Restrictions Grant scheme (ARG) is to support businesses in the hospitality, non-essential retail and garage/MOT sectors only. Seasonal businesses are excluded from this phase.
Hospitality businesses that applied for the ARG phase 3 do not need to reapply; Council Officers will be emailing all those eligible to confirm an automatic payment will be made. If you believe your business is no longer eligible, you are asked to email [email protected] as soon as possible.
