COVID Business Grants January 2022

The schemes will close to registrations and applications at 4pm on the 14th February 2022

The Welsh Government introduced the Emergency Business Fund to support businesses principally in the hospitality, tourism, retail and leisure sectors with cash flow support and to help them survive the economic consequences of restrictions put in place to control the spread of Covid-19 by the First Minister in his announcement on 22nd December 2021.

The grants will also support supply chain businesses for these four sectors that can demonstrate a material impact of greater than 40% drop in turnover to their enterprises as a result of the additional restrictions.

In relation to self-catering accommodation, these properties will not be eligible for the grant unless one of the following criteria are met:
· The self-catering property is for 30 people or more, or
· The self-catering accommodation is classed as an outdoor education centre

The fund consists of two grants – Businesses will only be eligible to apply for funding through one of the two schemes, businesses cannot apply for both the NDR grant and the Discretionary Grant.

Scheme 1 - Non Domestic Rates Emergency Grant

For all businesses, their hereditament must have been on the NDR rating list as of the 1st September 2021 and the ratepayer needs to have been in occupation of the property as of the 30th November 2021.
Scheme 2 - Discretionary Business Support Emergency Grant

After yesterday: What the Hell is going on? Surely, surely, we all must understand that what is happening is not inevitable!? Other countries are supporting their citizens. Rishi Sunak is pretending to do so. The Conservatives have been disastrous for the UK. I understand how people will have ideological reasons to support them, but this is beyond the joke.

Energy bills are set to rise by £700 under Westminster. The Tories must scrap their planned tax rises and immediately increase Universal Credit.

Bydd biliau ynni yn codi £700 o dan San Steffan. Rhaid i’r Torïaid ail-feddwl codi trethi a chynyddu Credyd Cynhwysol ar unwaith.

Week 3 is next Tuesday. A useful resource to take advantage of, by Cartrefi Conwy 👍

"Eligible households can claim a one-off £200 payment to provide support towards paying their on-grid winter fuel bills.

This payment has been increased from £100 on the 1 February, 2022. If you have already made your application or been paid £100 you don’t need to do anything, we will send you the additional £100 before the end of April 2022."

Received the votes needed by the branch members. Awaiting final ratification on Monday evening, to stand in the Council elections in May, for Llysfaen Ward.

Time for a new Wales

Currently in the process of seeking approval to stand in the Conwy County Council elections in May, for Llysfaen Ward. Watch this space 🙂

Considering a go at the 'ordinary' Conwy County Council elections next year. Watch this space 🙂

Patrick Cahill-Llysfaen Ward updated their information in their About section.

Wel, wnaethon ni ddim ennill heddiw, ond rydw i eisiau dweud diolch enfawr i'r bobl dda yn Ward Eirias a bleidleisiodd dros Gymru, Plaid, a minnau. Byddaf yn ôl 😉
Ry'n ni yma o hyd 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Llongyfarchiadau i Gail Jones, yr ymgeisydd Annibynnol. Nid oes gennyf unrhyw amheuaeth y bydd yn gwneud ei gorau dros bobl Eirias. Pob lwc Gail 🙂

Well, we didn't win today, but I want say a huge thank you to the good people in Eirias Ward that voted for Wales, Plaid, and myself. I'll be back 😉

Congratulations to Gail Jones the Independent candidate. I have no doubt she will do her best for the people of Eirias. Good luck Gail 🙂

I'd just like to say a big thank you to any electors that may have already voted for me, and Plaid, in the postal vote, and any that may vote for me tomorrow. It is greatly appreciated, and if elected, I will work hard on your behalf to repay your trust in me, and to also follow-on in the footsteps of the late Plaid Cymru Councillor Dave Cowans. A hard working man, passionate about the welfare of his constituents, and others in general.
I also owe a big debt of gratitude to all those that have supported me so much over the past few months. Meinir Huws in particular has been immense. Diolch o galon, Meinir.
We had a great final day leafletting in Eirias Ward, and were joined by Elin Walker Jones who took time out of her very busy schedule and campaign for Clwyd West in the Senedd elections. Diolch Elin.
Councillor Abdul Khan joined us too which I am very grateful for as I know he is an extremely hard working Councillor for Glyn Ward. Diolch also to Aaron Wynne who has been extremely supportive and helpful over the course of this campaign. A rising star for sure.
Thanks also to Austin Roberts and the other Conwy County - Plaid Cymru Councillors for their support and advice, it is much appreciated.
Many thanks also to Tecwyn, Ray, Trevor, Caroline, Graham, Will, Richard and anyone I may have inadvertently missed out at this time.
Diolch yn fawr i chi gyd!
Patrick 🙂

A year since the first person died of Covid in Wales. Thousands have left us since then; family members, friends, loved ones. We remember them all.

Mae blwyddyn ers marwolaeth y person cyntaf yng Nghymru o Covid. Mae miloedd wedi'n gadael ers hynny; yn deulu a chyfeillion, cofiwn am bob un.

Cofiwch bleidleisio Mawrth 18!
Remember to vote on March the 18th!👍🙂
