Regarding the Scheme, I would like to know:
- whether your council has already begun distributing to local businesses the funding made available for 2017-18 as part of the Relief Scheme?
- If the answer to (a) is yes, how much (in £s) has already been allocated to local businesses?
Response
Hastings Borough Council has not distributed the funding in respect of the discretionary relief announced in the budget 2017. We are currently working on our policy and analysing which local businesses should get the assistance.
