Decision details

The Chief Offiicer, Culture and Economy has approved Covid-19 business support payments to catteries and kennels as follows:
? A one-off payment will be made to each cattery and kennel based in Leeds in lieu of a Covid-19 Restart Grant.
? This is in addition to any grants made in lieu of Local Restrictions Support Grant (Closed) payments as set out in Decision ref: D52793.
? Payments will be calculated based on the Restart Grant payments made to non-essential retail businesses on the basis that as overnight stays were permitted from Step 2 on 12 April 2021 catteries and kennels would have seen an uptick in business from this point. This was the date when non-essential retail re-opened.
? Businesses with a rateable value less than £15,000 (all but one of the catteries and kennels in Leeds) will receive £2667.
? Businesses with a rateable value above £15,000 will receive £4000.
Payments will be made from from the Additional Restrictions Grant allocation. The financial commitment will be no more than £73,342.
