“We have a lot of work ahead of us to help Wiltshire recover following COVID-19 and its undoubted impact going forward, but we will support residents and businesses to thrive so that Wiltshire continues to provide opportunities and be a place that people want to live, work, and visit.
“As well as the recovery work, the climate emergency will rightly continue to be at the heart of our decision making.”
