Wiltshire Council is fully committed to doing everything it can to support people, businesses and our local communities through this challenging time.

The government has announced that planning rules will be relaxed so pubs and restaurants can operate as hot food takeaways during the coronavirus outbreak. These changes will provide vital flexibility to pubs and restaurants and will ensure people are able to safely stay at home while still supporting these local businesses across the county.

The measures are the latest in a series of practical steps the government is taking to support businesses and help people who need to self-isolate, as well as vulnerable groups and older people who have been strongly advised to avoid social contact outside their homes to prevent the spread of coronavirus. 

Full details of the proposal are available on the here.
