Leader of Wiltshire Council, Cllr Philip Whitehead WILTSHIRE Council is urging owners and managers of pubs to submit their applications for the Christmas Support Payment before the deadline expires on January 31. The lump sum grant of £1,000 is for ‘wet’ pubs that derive less than half of their sales from food and were established before December 1 2020. Pubs that were already successful through the Local Restrictions Support Grant (LRSG) have been contacted to receive the payment and to be made aware of other grants to which they are entitled. Any pub that has not already applied for the LRSG needs to apply before the deadline or they will miss out.
