The move is one of a number of ways the council is supporting businesses to prepare in case an emergency, crisis or disruption.

Councillor Kath Ryall, convener of Corporate Services, said: "Business continuity is about assessing what could go wrong and planning to minimise disruption should the worst happen. We are fully prepared for any crisis thanks to the robust business continuity plan."
