Robin McGowan, Salisbury BID Chief Executive, said: "Nearly 60% of Salisbury BID's levy payers are shops, so we welcome the Prime Minister's announcement that non-essential retailers can re-open from 15th June.

"As our city centre shops prepare to re-open, the BID is continuing to work hard to support businesses through this challenging time. Our objective is to help businesses implement safe social distancing measures, so people feel safe and reassured when shopping in Salisbury.

"We've got lots of initiatives lined up to get Salisbury's businesses and our economy back up and running, and we'd like to remind businesses to get in touch with us directly if they require any further support."
