COTSWOLD District Council has now paid out over £27.5 million in business support grants to over 2,200 businesses in the district.
All of the applications received over the last three weeks and councillors have been quick to praise the efforts of staff.
Cllr Mike Evemy, deputy leader and cabinet member for finance, said: “This has been a fantastic effort by our team who have achieved this despite most of them working from home under lockdown and having to set up a new payments system.”
