MARKET towns in west Wiltshire are to be boosted by two new grant schemes. The Wiltshire Market Towns Partnership has secured money from the European Social Fund.

The first scheme allows towns to apply for grants of up to £1,000 towards computer equipment. The second is open to towns that have not received funding from the Market and Coastal Towns initiative, with up to £5,000 available to finance areas such as training for members of the partnership.
