Wiltshire Council 'too slow' at giving out Covid grants

Wiltshire Council has responded to claims it is "too slow" at giving out Government funding to businesses in need of cash.
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce says it has been contacted by a number of businesses in the city who are struggling to access Covid grants.
This is because, compared to other councils elsewhere in the country, Wiltshire seems more reluctant to give money out, a spokesperson from the Chamber has said.
The council admitted it has received "a small number of complaints" but says none have been upheld, which is "evidence of a successful rollout".
'Too slow'
A spokesperson from Salisbury Chamber of Commerce said: "Across the country there seems to be different criteria that different local authorities are using to interpret the Government rules and the consequence of that is that the ARG [Additional Restrictions Grant] payments are being declined or taking a long time to come through.
