More than a thousand businesses have applied for business rate relief administered by Denbighshire County Council.
The
Welsh Government has announced a range of support for businesses which
Denbighshire and other local authorities across Wales are administering.
So
far 1,115 businesses have applied for business rate relief support in
Denbighshire and an online application form is available at www.denbighshire.gov.uk/business-rates
Cllr
Hugh Evans OBE, leader of Denbighshire County Council and Lead Member for the
Economy, said: “There is enormous uncertainty for businesses at this time and I
would encourage traders in Denbighshire to look at our website to see what
support is available. Small businesses are vital to the economy in
Denbighshire, supporting our communities and providing jobs for our residents.
“The
first business rate relief grants will be paid to businesses from next week and
the Council is doing all it can to ensure these grants are being processed as quickly
as possible.
“Our
Economic and Business Development Team is continuing to support local
businesses by signposting and finding information, sharing the latest
information on social media and via our mailing list. We would encourage
businesses to contact the team to sign up and get information sent to them
directly.”
