Local council not trying to get people to sign up for the wrong restart grant!

MadGutts

Hi Guys,
So i run a small business from an industrial estate and have received the 10k last year, then further amounts in December and again in February...
So the local council know i am on the system and that i am eligible for the restart grant...
However 320 other business never received an email that apparently they sent out to all the smaller businesses and now the council are claiming we have to claim the ARG instead of the restart grant we are actually entitled too!!!
Any one else having issues with local councils trying to weasel out of paying despite them having all the information required to pay it? I have only had 2x customers since the beginning of April when i re opened and have no way to pay the rent if they refuse to pay the restart grant as the ARG is for small businesses working from home etc.!

Anyone know who we can complain to to get this sorted as the deadline is Monday 31st!
Thanks

If the application window is still open, then surely you can just apply through their website?

i have applied - the point is i shouldnt need to as their own website states that "if you were successful before then you dont need to do anything" so i didnt....
Now they are claiming i have to apply for the ARG instead which is nowhere near as much as the proper restart grant designed for businesses, i need to pay my rent, the ARG is for businesses that work from home etc and is not the £6k that im due!
