Halton
LJ,
I am fully aware of the make up of the Old Workshops and the quantity of pers therein. You correctly list various tenants located in the Workshops, but have you walked around and seen the amount of empty rooms/corridors?
Correct SMTW are not the be all, but they are still moving in 16. (as of today). The costs are indeed eye watering.
I did not say that you should relocate the basic training, I also did not say that 4000 was a maximum just highlighting the difference in throughput in a given year.
My point was there are 3 training units with large estates to run. With a dwindling number of recruits per annum, is this still viable?
I don't have an answer, I just put forward a suggestion. What would be the cost of refurbishing Halton House to a modern officers mess suitable for today's officers?
