Salisbury declared decontaminated after Novichok poisoning
Military personnel have spent 13,000 hours on the clean-up following the nerve agent poisoning in March 2018
Along with the Skripals' house, in Christie Miller Road, the sites included the area around a park bench where the Skripals were found collapsed, the Zizzi restaurant where they had dined beforehand, and the home of Det Sgt Nick Bailey, who was exposed to the agent. Alistair Cunningham, from the South Wiltshire recovery coordinating group, said it was a"significant moment" for the area.
Environment minister Therese Coffey said the"professionalism" of all those involved in the clean-up had been"exemplary".
