‘Shocking conditions’ at Chicksands as base to be sold
Available for over a year
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.” Photo: Peter Dazeley/Getty Images.
