​Christmas support payments for wet-led pubs

Grants of £1,000 are available for Bury pubs which predominantly serve alcohol rather than food and have been severely impacted over the festive season due to Tier 2 and Tier 3 local restrictions.

The grant is only available to pubs who get less than 50% of their income from food – it is not available for restaurants and cafés, hotels and entertainment/leisure venues.

The deadline to apply for a grant is 31 January 20201. For details, go to https://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=15956

Businesses which have already been paid a Local Restrictions Support Grant can also apply for a Christmas Support Payment.

Applications can still be made for Local Restrictions Support Grants – to check eligibility, go to https://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=15257

If you have already made a claim you do not need to claim again and payments will be sent to you to cover every 14-day period that Bury remains in local restrictions.
