WREXHAM Council will continue to provide support to businesses during the coronavirus outbreak.

Their business and investment team who have received numerous requests from local businesses, are now acting as an information brokerage service directing companies to official Government guidance for employers and business during these uncertain times.

The team is also making businesses aware of the Welsh Government business rates relief programme, which may help in the current situation.

The Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales, Ken Skates has issued a letter to reassure businesses in light of the recent cases of coronavirus.

A support package for small businesses worth £200m will be rolled out immediately to help deal with the impact of the virus.

Questions relating to staffing are being referred to the ACAS website, which provides frequent up-to-date information for both employers and employees.

Lead member for the economy, Cllr Terry Evans, added: “As we know, the potential economic impact of coronavirus will be significant to businesses across the region.

"Our business and investment team is continuing to provide support and signposting companies to up to date information coming from both the UK and Welsh Governments.”
