The Director of City Development has approved
the following in relation to the Covid-19 Discretionary Grant Funds
(DGFs) Scheme One and Two funded through the Covid-19 Additional
Restrictions Grant (ARG) Allocation:
• That Scheme One, for those businesses with fixed property
costs of more than £4000 per annum, be re-opened in June 2021
for a final two week application window.
• That Scheme Two, for those businesses with fixed property
costs of less than £4000 per annum, be re-opened in June 2021
for a further two week application window.
• That businesses that have already received a grant through
Scheme Two be awarded a top-up grant of £250 for businesses
with no employees and £500 for businesses with one or more
employees. In exceptional circumstances where significant ongoing
fixed business costs (excluding wages/salaries) are being incurred
and where a wider impact on the Leeds economy can be demonstrated a
higher top up award of up to 50% of annual fixed business costs to
a maximum of £2,500 will be considered.
