The current lockdown is expected to last until at least the middle of February. At a full council meeting, Cllr Stephen Godfrey asked the Lib Dem administration what is in place to support local companies. Cllr Paula Ferguson detailed the scheme and started by explaining the Additional Restrictions Support Grant. She said: A second round of funding to support organisations within key sectors is underway. Organisations that have either been mandated to close or whose income has been impacted in excess of 30 per cent will be eligible for a grant between £1,333 and £3,000. We are also developing a hardship fund and other funded initiatives to support businesses in recovery.

A LOCAL authority is poised to invest £5m to help businesses recover from the coronavirus pandemic. Durham County Council is expected to introduce a grant scheme which would provide up to £40,000 in assistance to help firms implement recovery plans. The Durham Business Recovery Grant Scheme would support more than 880 firms and have the potential to safeguard over 1,760 jobs, across the county. The scheme goes before the council’s cabinet for approval next week. Cllr Carl Marshall, the authority’s cabinet member for economic regeneration, said: “We fully recognise that coronavirus and the restrictions that have come with it have been devastating for businesses, many of which have faced long periods of time closed with little or no income, or faced increased costs of adapting workplaces and methods of operation.
