CAMPAIGN FOR THE CAMBERLEY RESERVE CENTRE - COMMUNITY USE
03/11/2024
I recently was informed of the auction of the Army Reserve Centre at, 276-278 London Road, Camberley, Surrey, GU15 3JP by Defence Infrastructure Organisation on 7th November with seemingly only two weeks’ notice.
I understand this Army Reserve Centre has been unused for some time; however, there has been serious and considerable ongoing interest from Cadet Organisations and other Community Groups over many years.
Furthermore, this is an exceptional community resource, adjacent to the Royal Military Academy and our community response to the news of auctioning off this property, and land, at very short notice has been met with a resoundingly negative response on social media.
I urge the suspension of the auction with a more reasonable timeframe, allowing for community consultation and a potential bid from community organisations who are interested.
This property is unique. It cannot be sold off in a rush before there is a proper investigation for the future of the site.
