• Up to £150 Council Tax Hardship Relief will be applied to each working age benefit claimant. There is no need to apply for this as the process is automatic and those identified will have their accounts amended and reissued by the middle of April
• A twelve month business rates holiday for all retail, hospitality, leisure and nursery businesses in England. There is no need to apply for this as the process is automatic and we will reissue bills to the relevant businesses on the 6th April.
