Surrey Heath MP, Michael Gove, wrote to the Minister for Defence Procurement, James Cartlidge MP, last month on 14 July 2023 to ask him to confirm that the installation of a further gate between the Range Access Road and Corridor has been completed, and that his constituents will now have safer access to the new Phase 2 track, when the flags are lowered.
The Defence Minister responded to Michael on 17 August:
Thank you for your email of 14 July 2023 on behalf of your constituents, regarding the installation of a gate between the Range Access Road and Corridor at Ash Ranges. Further to our previous response, I am happy to confirm that all works to support enhanced access to Ash Ranges are now complete, including the installation of the gate between the Range Access Road and Corridor. This gate will be open to allow access to the new ‘Phase 2’ track when the flags are lowered. to report that I have just received the letter below confirming the works have indeed been completed.
Michael commented:
Ash Ranges is a fantastic local amenity and I am so pleased that James has confirmed all works to support enhanced access for my constituents are now complete.
