Agents, operators and TMCs are still eligible to apply for Additional Restrictions Grant funding and, after assessing council allocations to the end of August, Abta believes there could be as much as £300 million still available.


Luke Petherbridge, Abta’s director of public affairs, on Tuesday (19 October) said firms should get in touch with their local council and be persistent in their bid to secure funding.
