The Council agreed to undertake a review of 79 decisions it took to refuse businesses payments from the Additional Restrictions Grant scheme to support businesses impacted by COVID-19, following the January 2022 funding round (which closed in March 2022). This was to consider if any other businesses were wrongly refused grants because they were not trading in 2019.If any were identified and the business was still trading, the Council agreed to either make a payment equivalent to the grant award it should have paid at the time, or request any such further evidence it should have asked for at the time to consider making such a payment (and to give any business affected 20 working days to provide this).The Council also agreed to consider all cases where it received an expression of dissatisfaction from a business following the January 2022 Additional Restriction Grant funding round. This was to check if the business received a reasoned response to their representations and / or was signposted to the Council's complaint procedure.The Council agreed to consider if any representations not properly handled at the time should have led to a reconsideration of the grant award. It would then either make a payment equivalent to the award it should have paid at the time, or request any such further evidence it should have asked for at the time to consider making such a payment (and to give any business affected 20 working days to provide this).
