Robert Meets with Defence Minister to Push for REEMA Redevelopment

  • Tweet
Friday, 8 February, 2019
REEMA

Robert recently met with Defence Minister, Tobias Ellwood, alongside Leader of West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC), James Mills, to discuss the redevelopment of the REEMA sites in Carterton.

The REEMA sites have had planning permission for over a decade but development has been consistently delayed, despite the pressing need for homes in the area.

Robert and WODC are working with the Ministry of Defence to break the deadlock and met with Tobias Ellwood, the Minister responsible for the Defence Estate, to call for progress.

Speaking after the meeting, Robert said: “Had a constructive meeting with the Minister and James Mills to discuss the REEMA sites.  It’s crucial that we all keep pushing for the redevelopment of these brownfield sites to provide the high-quality affordable housing Carterton and the RAF needs, and our service personnel deserve.  I’m determined to work with all involved to deliver on this.”

The Right Homes, in the Right Place

I know we all agree that West Oxfordshire needs more affordable homes - to rent or buy.  However, these new homes must be at the right price in the right place, and any new development must come with the extra infrastructure needed to support it.

Supporting our Armed Forces

The armed forces are a key part of the identity of West Oxfordshire.  RAF Brize Norton is the largest military air base in Europe and home to a third of the Royal Air Force, and those who live and work at the base contribute strongly to our community.
