To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Disposal database: House of Commons report, for what reason his Department plans to dispose of seven garages and a playpark at Glencorse Barracks from 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Disposal database: House of Commons report, for what reason his Department plans to dispose of seven garages and a playpark at Glencorse Barracks from 2022.
The decision to dispose of the garages and playpark is separate from the recent decision to retain Glencorse Barracks
These seven garages at Glencorse Barracks have been declared surplus by the Department (and similarly the “playpark” which is already empty, the equipment having already been removed). As such they are being disposed of in accordance with Ministry of Defence policy and HM Treasury guidelines.
Lots of High Peak parents have been contacting me concerned about the poor state of repair of many of our local children’s play areas, including at least one that has had to go without a swing for well over a year. Does the Secretary of State agree with me that instead of spending taxpayers’ money and resources on their own pet projects, councils should focus on their core responsibilities such as properly maintaining children’s play areas?

As a parent of three young children, I spend a long time in playgrounds and appreciate their importance to everybody in society. I think it is really important that councils take parks and playgrounds seriously. They may be a non-statutory duty, but they are a very important one to members of the public. We have now had two years of increases in council funding, which were voted on and supported by both sides of this House, so local councils have the resources, and they should prioritise open spaces as we come out of the pandemic.
