Very impressive, looks alot like the facilities we had in Fort Bragg. I hope the solder's enjoy the new accommodation and little added privacy those single units provide.
Living close to these bases, I can say that they have been totally transformed in the last few years. Well done all who were involved, you have improved the whole area for everyone 👍👏👏
I served in Germany and England from the mid 70s to mid 90s and our accommodations were diabolical and falling apart so it’s nice to see such a massive improvement.
I still say a Germany posting was a great benefit to the British soldier and his/her family, mainly because of the cultural experience and taste of something different. Retaining Sennelager Training Area and the camp has its advantages, but it's not the same as actually living in the place.
And that’s why people before joining the Army have to do proper research on what regiment they going to join because not all regiment will have them nice accommodations...
@Discipleship DisciplinedThat counts, specially if you got family! ... at the end of the day unless your a young single person you gotta think about where your family going to be living because they the one that have to live there 24/7 while your gone and if you gonna join the Army and not care about where you family gonna be living well... then you might as well be single for the rest of your life ...👍
@@daveandmerlin I don’t think that’s right I think you could be a solider and be entitled to have a nice decent house for you and your family, if the MOD have money to send you away,I’m sure they have enough money to make every single soldier live on a decent accommodation
Wow, they are certainly actually sticking to their promise this time of giving soldiers actual good homes and areas to live in. Certainly better than those the boys got when they came back from the first and second world Wars.👌🏼 You really couldn’t tell the difference here between this and any other large-scale good quality housing project with actual modern facilities that will last and age better over time. This certainly isn’t the housing projects of the 90s and early to thousands. All they need now is some trees and to make sure the whole base runs on green energy (Solar panels on roof which we can clearly not see yet). Something which I imagine will be implemented very soon under new policies. Well deserved to all. Great work here.👍🏼
Housing in itself is good in the garrison, but the lack of commercial properties, such as corner shops, pubs, restaurants, etc holds it back from being a great place to live.

Amen to this. All we have heard of for decades is disgracefully underfunded military accommodation and building maintenance, which I'm guessing is still on-going but getting resolved? Well done all, particularly if this came directly from government initiative. I hope this ain't a PR stunt so soldiers and families (RN and RAF likewise) are being properly taken care of at last.

This is really wonderful work. Actual genuine good quality building both of the homes and a large facilities. You could easily believe this was absolutely anywhere else in the UK that was a large-scale expensive industrial scale housing project. Even the public facilities look amazing. This place will last a long time, and unlike a lot of other bases, will age a lot better. This is a job well done indeed.
Our company (AMF(L) COY R.A.O.C) went from our barracks (spider huts) in Devizes to Ward Barracks, Bulford in 1983. Went back to Bulford one year ago, first time in nearly 37 years. Hardly recognised the place 🙃. All single accommodation and now home to The Rifles.
Might as well give some good accommodation, which has always been the case with Salisbury, but this is a rarity. It is a wonder we have any armed forces left.
And who REALLY wants to live in Tidworth. Nice housing YES but it’s not Germany by any means the standard of living and amenities were far better than any garrison in the UK.
Mind I am going back 30 years so chances are they got worse in the years that followed.I had a cheeky look at Google maps and had a laugh at the tree the kids planted in the 80s is still there and thriving
I was a motor cycle Vedette stationed near Shrewton in the 1950s and it was our job to keep the ranges clear of trappers while explosives were being used. I see that the area from Lavington to Netheravon is still unoccupied. Anyone know, is it still used for weapon training or just dangerous because of unexploded ordinance.
Did you visit the base or just going from what was visible on Camera? Because it looked as if it was behind and to the right of the end of the Building they showed part way through, which makes sense especially as there's Historic Buildings on Site they don't like the Car parks in full view at the Front of the Buildings where there's going to people walking to and from the surrounding buildings and it seems to be laid out in a similar way to Fort Bragg and other Bases that we've had upgraded in the US, it's time to start on Retaining the Troops/Sailors/Airmen as they Marry and make a life in the Services with the support of the Services and not leave for a Civilian lifestyle that can seem lonely and isolated even if your family is around you trying to support you....

Very different from when I was there in 84-85 but as "silverflashwillo123 " asks below and which I thought on seeing the single soldiers blocks...Where do the single soldier park their car? Is it miles away? PS. where's the RMP Dutyroom?
No sign of the promised off road safe cycle path from Ludgeshall to Larkhill to help reduce traffic, as promised in the theatre at Tidworth to a large audience by DIO head of housing?
Got to love the YT algorithm. I got here from watching a Tic Tak joke played on a cashier in a supermarket...... I worked on Project Allenby in Tidworth. The Accm is so much better than I lived in from 88 - 07 both the Quarters and SLA. Except for Holland, 4 Years in Holland in a privately owned house, 3 Bedrooms and a Man Cave in the Attic. The Army is not starting to give a damn about the men and women in uniform, it is about time. Do all of the GSMs allow the men and women in the Z Type SLA to use the Cooking Facilities they pay for now? I read some Soldier Mag letters and online posts that certain WO2s and WO1s were cutting or allowing plugs to be cut off the equipment in the kitchens. Or are these young men and women we trust with Live Ammunition and Rifles not allowed to cook for themselves yet?
cheaply?have you seen how much its all cost?they may be poor quality but cheap they aint.they started building some houses and the army didnt like them and there were some poorly built so had to be rebuilt.
My point was that it was the same with the old quarters built cheap and with problems which then turned into things like very poor ventilation, damp and mold that would never get fixed, but would have loads of money spent to control the problem. Its a general problem in overall government procurement.
@@gfield1607 i agree with you to fault as i know a lot of those houses all over wiltshire but its not the governments fault totally as the army insist on supervising and i have seen and heard some really dodgy dealings going on.
I always LOVED the plain. (3 Fd Wksp REME ''90 - '93 ('ish') ; 6 Bn REME '97 -2001). My quarter was in Shipton Bellinger and I reckoned I had the fittest dog on the patch. When I wasn't FTXing on the plain, I was walking my dog.
Would anyone go on there and say anything bad ? Nothing is perfect and i know ive been based there . Compared to Germany the guys lock themselves in the rooms at night messes are closed due to no one using the facilities and the shops on camp are over priced and the food quality is questionable since the got private contractors in thus forcing you out of camp to buy food . The local area isnt bad but is lacking resources for any kind for activities . if you do want to venture out to say Andover /Salisbury you are looking at a taxi fare of around £100 . In summary its been done on the cheap the blocks are falling apart and how long will it be until they are not fit for purpose and the community is more like being on a tube in London than Mary Poppins . its not ideal but its okay but i find there to be less unit cohesion due to the set up and the garrison being run by civvies ..
There are a lot of 'eggs in one basket', 'it'll get nuked' kind of comments. But, IMO, ALL the troops and equipment will have been deployed a long time before any nukes arrive. These new facilities have been a long time coming. I hope the British Legion Club is still on the main drag through Tidworth.
Politics aside. From the military point of view perhaps it is not desirable to have all your eggs in one basket? Seems crazy to abandon our bases in Germany where there were excellent training facilities. There was certainly no lack of community spirit over there and in my experience military civilian co operation was good with many friendships established. Sadly our withdrawal has left some previously first class bases and accommodation in a dreadful state.
NATO's frontiers are now further east in Poland and the Baltics with numerous bases being set up there, rendering most of the bases in Germany redundant. Furthermore with the addition of Eastern European armies, NATO actually has more eggs and baskets than ever before.

Such bland and cold looking buildings and general area's. Must be a Traditional British System.
That's modern British architecture for you, generally lacking in character and inspiration.
Crashed plane house do my taxes
most of these bases should of been scrapped years ago and relocated or merged to units further up north.nearly all has wasted millions and probably billions on operational and planning issues especially larkhill .the ra should of been moved to scotland 70 years ago along with most salisbury plain with most of the affiliated units moved up north. when the uklf was closed in wilton it should of moved up north instead of andover.there was and still is acres and acres of unused mod land up north with all the access and benefits of wiltshire. absolutely disgusting waste of money.
A popular upload in Russia I'd say .
Tac nuke Tidworth and Catterick - job done.
@@stonemarten1400 Well when they or anyone starts dropping nukes I think the game is up for us all .But UK is kinda lucky as the Russians have so much of their wealth in property there they might hold back .
Just hope there's no property crash anytime soon .😉
Sadly such a big base would an attractive nuclear target.

Why would any belligerent nation want a nuclear hot zone in the country they want to rule and eventually have to deal with the fall out. Hack the computers in the power plants, water storage and purification facilities, gas pipelines and electricity generating plants and get them to all close down or open the sluice gates to drain the reservoirs. Anyone wanting to take over doesn't really want to rebuild what they have bombed, they learned that the last time.
You call that a garrison? Might wanna take a note from your ex-colony xD
Horrible looking houses for the troops
That thing on his face: too much time grooming, not enough time looking after his vehicles.

First learn to stand, then walk, then learn to fly, by following natures rules you will eventually come first.
With a little inspiration and some motivation one can then reach greater heights.
Wax on wax off, wax on wax off Sir.

all get taken out by one nuke the army should be local and take a active part in the local communities and schools should be in the towns and cities not just out of the way in the country side what are they thinking a peoples army is what is needed
They do
Doubtful nuked without a rise in tensions, long enough warning.

@@markvick6138 2 mins? 😂 They’re alerted as soon as it’s launched, and I doubt there would be a scenario were the army isn’t already deployed in that situation.

They updated the facial hair standards. Officers now qualify for moustaches. And to be fair, it was a requirement of soldiers for hundreds of years. Looks a bit silly, but nice to return to tradition.
I think it looks smart ngl
A young officer with a personality and a sense of humour....we had a Provost Marshal in the mid 70s with a massive moustache
