Council calls out to businesses that may be eligible for a grant

Published 17 April 2020

Having received its first payment of grant money from the government, Lichfield District Council is asking businesses that may be eligible for an emergency grant to contact them, if they haven’t received a letter or an email from the council yet.

The council has written to the 1,560 businesses that it believes are eligible for either a small business grant of £10,000 or a retail, hospitality and leisure business grant of up to £25,000.

Officers are collecting email addresses for these same businesses, which will help it to speed up the payment process.

The council now has around 700 local business email addresses. Out of this number, almost 500 have responded with the information the council needs to pay the grants.
Local businesses that could be eligible for either of the grants are encouraged to email economicdevelopment@lichfielddc.gov.uk.
