1)To approve the proposed list of Additional
Restrictions Grant awards to eligible businesses which provide key
benefits to the broader Gedling economy as determined in accordance
with the Local Restrictions Business Support Scheme, and detailed

grants in accordance with an approved local discretionary scheme
which has been developed in line with Government guidance.

are beneficial to the local economy and have experienced financial
difficulties as a result of the restrictions imposed due to
Covid-19 pandemic.

businesses that provided key benefits to the wider economy in
accordance with the approved scheme. This would not be in line with
scheme approved by the Leader, or the Government expectations that
a local scheme be administered using the grant funding provided to
deliver some support for small business who may have “slipped
through the cracks” in terms of ineligibility for other
grants and reliefs available as a result of Covid-19.
