Open Keep open local Army Reserve Centres and reopen recently closed ones

Created by Philip Stokes
Closes on

We believe local Army Reserve Centres must be maintained and kept open and recently closed ones reopened to maintain Regimental and local links and accessibility with local Cadet units, instead of grouping unrelated units together in so-called 'Super ARCs'.

As well as erasing our history of service, we believe this places Cadet units and Reserve units too far away from their target audience. Leaving those most disadvantaged who could benefit the most unable to benefit as well as cutting community links and a shared history, which has the potential to cut recruitment across the services.
