Over the past few days we have been distributing our latest newsletter updating everybody on the current status of our campaign. The newsletter has been delivered to the majority of houses in the southern part of Arborfield.
The key point to take on board is that whilst the election of a new government has put a hold on the building plans from Wokingham Borough Council, this is only temporary, the council still has to build some new homes, even if not in the same volumes as were previously envisaged. Also as the recent news from Shinfield shows, the various developer groupings are carrying on regardless – we expect a public consultation followed by a planning application from the consortium representing the MoD and local landowners for the Arborfield Garrison SDL later in the year. This is all despite the fact that the current spending review calls into question whether the Garrison will even close at all.
The Arborfield Garrison Resident's Action Group (AG-RAG) represents the civilian residents who mostly live in the southern part of Arborfield. Although this area is adjacent to the Arborfield Garrison itself, the AG-RAG does not represent the views or interests of the MoD or the Military Commander of the Arborfield Garrison.
