Pubs that have been forced to close in the run up to Christmas because of coronavirus restrictions are being urged to apply for extra funding to help them through the festive season.
Businesses who cannot trade because of national coronavirus restrictions are being reminded they can access grants of up to £3,000 with more than £1million already handed out.
Cash sums of up to £2,000 are being offered to businesses across Dudley borough that have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic in the latest financial lifeline.
The leader of Dudley Council has written to the government to ask if nearly £10 million in unallocated business grants can be used to support the borough’s tourist attractions and town centres fight back from the coronavirus crisis.
