almost 20 years ago I undertook contractor compliance work at Clyde, Rosyrh and Devonport. There was huge capital investment at Devonport on docks 10 and 11 for nuclear submarine maintenance, yet existing facilities at places like Coulport were falling apart. Infrastructure is only a sexy subject when its being built and open; sadly for the last 25 years the MOD, led by the incompetents at DW/DE/DIO, has not sort to maintain the built enviroent and outsourced new facilities to the lowest PFI bidder. Most of our new-built look like cheap ‘retail parks’.
