In praise of
an estate
shake-up
IT IS a fact that our
mood is affected by
our surroundings –
ask any architect or
psychologist that.
So in a month
where the continuous attitude survey
reports the lowest level of satisfaction
among troops since the study began
(page 15), it is heartening to learn that
Service personnel have been put in
charge of maintenance across the Army
estate (page 7).
Although many of our readers have
learnt to be cautious, if not sceptical,
about sweeping organisational changes
that promise the world, it doesn’t take
a genius to see that something had
to give with the upkeep of military
barracks and buildings.
Let’s hope that through more timely
repairs and better prioritisation of
tasks, the delegated infrastructure
project will bring a much-needed boost
to the well-being of soldiers.
And if it doesn’t, I have no doubt
our ever-honest readers will tell us
(Talkback, page 45).
We wish the team every success as
they try to effect change.
