Our armed services are key members of communities across Skipton and Ripon and I have supported their work keeping us safe in this country and around the world. I have also led efforts for clarity over the future of Claro and Deverell Barracks in Ripon following the Army Basing Review.
After the announcement, I held a summit to discuss the Barracks' future with interested parties and I continue to have regular conversations with representatives from Harrogate Borough Council to discuss the new opportunities these sites present for Ripon. I am in contact with the MoD and DIO regarding the progress of the disposal, and receive regular updates regarding their interactions with the Council.
