Catterick Garrison
Catterick Garrison is a major garrison and town located 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 in between two civil parishes. The southern part of the town, south of a small stream known as Leadmill Gill, is in the civil parish of Scotton. The northern part forms the greater part of the civil parish of Hipswell. Every parish has its own parish council. It's the largest 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 short-term camp to accommodate two comprehensive divisions with about 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 develop to over 25000 by 2020, making it the largest population centre in the local area. Lacking a real town centre, the Garrison gained its 1st large supermarket in 2000, along with a retail park called 'Richmondshire Walk', which also contains a McDonalds, a Poundstretcher and also a Peacocks, amongst other shops. 'Catterick Leisure Centre' is a purpose built complex opposite the retail park, opened in July 2009, and it offers a broad spectrum of leisure and fitness facilities such as a swimming pool, along with a fitness centre, and also an adjoining public library.
