Catterick Garrison
Catterick Garrison is a significant garrison and town located 3 miles south of Richmond in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. The town lies in the Central Richmondshire electoral division of North Yorkshire County Council and divided between the Hipswell and Scotton wards of Richmondshire District Council. The town is divided between two civil parishes. The southern part of the town, south of a small 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. Every parish has its own parish council. It is the biggest British Army garrison in the world, with a population of about 13000 and measuring over 2400 acres. The original intention for Catterick was to be 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 grow to more than 25000 by 2020, making it the largest population centre in the local area. Lacking a true town centre, the Garrison gained its initial big supermarket in 2000, along with a retail park known as 'Richmondshire Walk', which also includes a McDonalds, a Poundstretcher as well as a Peacocks, amongst others. '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 which include a swimming pool, in addition to a fitness centre, as well as an adjoining public library.
