Every month, the Council receives a number of Freedom of Information (FOI) Requests regarding the grants which were paid to businesses in our area during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A wide range of grants were available at various times, for different businesses. Each grant paid out different amounts, depending on the Rateable Value (RV) of the business.
Certain grants were only available to specific businesses - for example pubs and holiday accommodation, or market traders. Others were paid to businesses that were severely impacted by the restrictions, but not legally required to close.
We have created a list of the different grants that were available at different times, including:
- The name of the grant
- Eligible businesses
- Value of the grant
The full details of the grants paid can be downloaded as an .xlsx spreadsheet.

Notes
Sector Column: Part way through the Grants period the government updated their criteria to require a SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) code to be self selected. Not all grant recipients submitted this information and there was no requirement to do it retrospectively.
The early application forms asked for the business area but as the two lists didn't match completely we have left the earlier business areas listed for any applicants that didn't update this field.
