Catterick Garrison
Catterick Garrison is a significant garrison and town situated 3 miles south of Richmond in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. The town lies inside the Central Richmondshire electoral division of North Yorkshire County Council and divided among the Hipswell and Scotton wards of Richmondshire District Council. The town is divided amongst two civil parishes. The southern part of the town, south of a little stream generally known as Leadmill Gill, is in the civil parish of Scotton. The northern part forms the greater part of the civil parish of Hipswell. Each parish has its personal parish council. It's the biggest British Army garrison in the world, having a population of around 13000 and measuring over 2400 acres. The original intention for Catterick was to become a temporary camp to accommodate two full divisions with around 40000 men in 2000 huts. However, under plans announced by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in November 2005, the population of Catterick Garrison is expected to grow to over 25000 by 2020, making it the biggest population centre inside the local area. Lacking a real town centre, the Garrison gained its first large supermarket in 2000, along with a retail park called 'Richmondshire Walk', which also contains a McDonalds, a Poundstretcher along with a Peacocks, among other shops. 'Catterick Leisure Centre' is a purpose built complex opposite the retail park, opened in July 2009, and it provides a broad spectrum of leisure and fitness facilities such as a swimming pool, as well as a fitness centre, as well as an adjoining public library.
