Agent campaign group Target has echoed a warning from Abta that agents will be up against other businesses in their local area for a share of the extra £102 million Additional Restrictions Grant funding announced shortly before Christmas.


The updated warning to the trade from Target comes after further details of the eligibility for the new support were revealed on Thursday; Additional Restrictions Grant support is allocated to local authorities to distribute at their discretion, rather than by central government.
