Rejected petition £22.5 MILLION FOR A BARRACKS THE Mod INTEND TO SPEND £400 MILLION ON
More details
The government propose spending £400 million on a new barracks in Scotland.
Keetwonen is the name of the biggest container city in the world. Living in a converted shipping container was a new concept in the Netherlands when launched by Tempohousing, but the city of Amsterdam took the courageous step to contract Tempohousing to go and realise it. It turned out to be a big success among students in Amsterdam and it is now the second most popular student dormitory offered by the student housing corporation
These converted containers are available at £2500 each housing 4 or 2 with a separate room.
Lets, very pessimistically, double it for shipping costs and getting it on site.
Lets add 50% for the related facilities.
£22.5 million as against £400 million
The squaddies should be asked if the Keetwonen facilities are as good as, or better than normal barracks. Parliament should debate whether spending £400 million or £22.5 million is better.
