‘Shocking conditions’ at Chicksands as base to be sold
Labour MP Alistair Strathern responds to plans to sell the MOD site by 2030. Chicksands, near Shefford in Bedfordshire, was once the home of a top-secret World War Two listening post.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said:
“MOD Chicksands will become surplus to military requirements when the current units move to more purpose built facilities as part of a significant investment in Defence Intelligence infrastructure.
“We are working towards a schedule that will enable a disposal from 2030 onwards. This will be refined as plans mature and construction begins.â€
