Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC) Chief Executive, Fiona Campbell, said:
“We are delighted that the Scottish Government has taken this decision and commend them for prioritising the needs of small, in many cases family-owned, businesses in this manner.
“Bolstering the Small Accommodation Providers Paying Council Tax Fund and the availability of Restart Grants will serve as vital lifelines to our sector at a time when many desperately need them.
“This pandemic has been incredibly difficult for everyone and with lockdown and stay at home orders in place this is a difficult and stressful time for our industry, however, action of this type from government is exactly what we need to help make sure that we can get back to creating memory-making holidays for our guests who need it now more than ever.”
