Saffron Indian Takeaway's free meals for City Hall volunteers

Saffron Indian Takeaway, on Wilton Road, provided the meals for vaccine volunteers, "as a way of saying thank you".

Rowsonara Begum, from the takeaway, said: “The success of providing hot meals to the hospital workers during the first lockdown has given us the confidence to offer this service as our way of saying thank you once more.

"We thank Salisbury District Council for this opportunity and hope that our meals help refuel our army of volunteers and NHS workers.

"Also thanks to the High Sheriff of Wiltshire, Major General Ashley Truluck CB CBE who was very helpful in coordinating this arrangement for us and has been encouraging and supportive throughout the planning process”.
