Chancellor offers £4.6bn lifeline for high streets
Around 600,000 retail, hospitality and leisure sites will be able to claim a one-off grant of up to £9,000, the Government has announced. The payments will cost the Treasury £4.6 billion and aim to help support the high street as new lockdown measures announced on Monday take hold. Chancellor Rishi Sunak also announced a further £594 million for local authorities and devolved administrations to support businesses not eligible for the grants.
