Business's Falling through the cracks
Define more clearly the government guidelines for covid grant funding.Local councils are refusing Mot ,service and repair stations any form of grants due to not falling into the category of RETAIL.Retail is when you provide a service or sell items which we do both of.So many business's are falling through the cracks for any financial help in which was provided by the government yet our local councils are not distributing fairly by blaming the Scottish governments guidelines are not clear enough for them.
Why is this important?
It is important as we are all in the same boat during this awful pandemic therefore we should all be treated the same.Whilst some businesses are receiving all the help provided some others are being left out in the cold whilst business face the impact of no financial grant as well as no business due to either being closed or having no customers due to being told to stay at home whilst we still have to fork out to pay bills ,wages as well as spending money on making the business safe.
