As the potential closure of a local barracks in Lincolnshire becomes increasingly likely, support for its conversion into a ‘veterans’ village’ is swelling amongst community leaders and veterans’ groups. The intention of this proposal is to establish a supportive community for former military personnel which would offer not only housing but also rehabilitation services and job training opportunities. The proposal has been received with eagerness, both from local residents and from organisations focused on assisting veterans. Supporters argue that repurposing the barracks into a veterans’ village would simultaneously preserve the site’s military heritage and care for the needs of the veteran community.
