Covid-19 – Wakefield Council Cash Grant Info
I have had a very constructive conversation with the Wakefield Council business engagement team:
They have released the below regarding claiming the business grant.
They have also said that if you are unsure whether or not you qualify, please email info@wakefieldfirst.com
So if you rent commercial premises but think the landlord gets the rates bill this would a good example, it’s better that they have your details than not. They may be able to support you when they get clarity from the government.
