More than £37 million has so far been paid out to Carlisle businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic by the city council.
The council is continuing to make payments from government schemes they are administering. They are also asking local businesses to check their eligibility for the various grants funding available.
Where appropriate, automatic payments are being made to businesses using details supplied through online applications for the range of grants available.
Payments are continuing to be made to businesses, including the top-up-grants announced earlier this month.
Any business that has not previously applied for any of the following grants is asked to check their eligibility and apply online.
- Additional Restrictions Grant.
- LRSG Open.
- LRSG Closed.
An online application form is also available for a Christmas Support Payment for wet-led pubs.
Gareth Ellis, deputy leader for Carlisle City Council, said: “Since November last year we have provided £9.42 million in 4,611 grants to businesses.
“These payments include new applications and we are continuing, where we can, to use information already provided by businesses.
“If any business hasn’t applied, please check our website to see if you can apply for any of the schemes we’re managing.”
Once received, the council aims to process any new applications as soon as possible.
Applicants are reminded to have all necessary documentation accessible before starting on their application.
