As you may have seen in the news over the weekend, the Defence Secretary Rt Hon John Healey MP announced an additional £1.5 billion of funding, over the next five years, to improve military accommodation across the UK.
Following the landmark deal which brought 36,347 military homes back into public ownership, we have already begun the process of transformative change. This includes the delivery of the seven commitments set out in the Consumer Charter that we shared with you last month. These commitments reflect our plans to transform living conditions for you across the UK through improved service provision, communication and upgrades to homes.
DIO has advocated for sustained investment into the estate for many years and we believe this will be a turning point in allowing us to deliver significant change to your future lived experience.
Air Commodore Leah Griffin, DIO Head of Accommodation:
“This multi-year settlement is transformative and will enable long-term investment decisions to be made that directly benefit Service Personnel for years to come, whilst accelerating the delivery of significant improvements to the lived experience for Service families.”
