Minister ‘Delighted’ by modernised Blandford Garrison
homes
Minister for Defence, Equipment and Support, Quentin Davies,
visited Blandford Garrison in Dorset recently to meet some of the
military families who have just moved into modernised homes at the
base. During his visit Mr Davies was shown inside some of the 136
homes which are being refurbished under a two-year programme which
includes new kitchens, boilers, bathrooms, re-
roofing, rewiring, garden
sheds and patios. Mr Davies said: “I am delighted by what I have
witnessed. Our military personnel and their families make great
sacrifices for their country and these modernised homes meet the
decent standards of accommodation that they deserve.”
Nick Acheson, who has had responsibility for Ian Williams
contracts at the garrison, said “This has been a challenging job
but we are delighted that our hard work has resulted in a positive
outcome for the families involved and that this has been
recognised.”
