Arborfield Garrison - Future

Future

It was announced in July 2011 by the British Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox that RAF Lyneham will be the new site of the Defence Technical Training Change Programme centre (DTTCP). This coincides with the closure of Arborfield Garrison, and The School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (SEME) at Bordon, both of which are due to move to RAF Lyneham by 2015.

Under current plans the land will be sold to Wokingham District Council who wish to develop the land which will include 3,500 houses, retail units and a Secondary School.

Famous quotes containing the word future:

    Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
    Men manufacture both machine and soul,
    And use what they imperfectly control
    To dare a future from the taken routes.
    Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

    How difficult the task to quench the fire and the pride of private ambition, and to sacrifice ourselves and all our hopes and expectations to the public weal! How few have souls capable of so noble an undertaking! How often are the laurels worn by those who have had no share in earning them! But there is a future recompense of reward, to which the upright man looks, and which he will most assuredly obtain, provided he perseveres unto the end.
    Abigail Adams (1744–1818)

    After the final no there comes a yes
    And on that yes the future world depends.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
