Road To Discovery - Army: The Military Issues Affecting Aldershot

With the general election just nine days away, Forces News has taken to the road to find out more about the issues affecting military communities.

We'll be in Plymouth for the Royal Navy and Marham for the Royal Air Force - but Tim Cooper has started his journey in Aldershot. 

With 652 acres of barracks, training areas, housing and sports facilities for 3,500 troops, it's the home of the British Army.

We heard about issues from childcare to rent prices - with some complaining about service housing provider CarillionAmey.

It told Forces News in a statement:

"We are proud to work on behalf of Service families. Following improvements last year our contracts are now meeting, and in places exceeding, overall requirements."

"We continue to work closely with Defence Infrastructure Organisation to further improve customer experience."

Others, meanwhile, spoke about their desire to help build links between the town's business community and the military.
