Air Cadets Launch Urgent Search For Temporary Base

Market Harborough Air Cadets have launched an urgent appeal for temporary accommodation as they will have to vacate their current base for up to six months.

The 1084 squadron’s premises is to be given a major refurbishment, meaning it will be out of use from later this month.

The Air Cadets base is to be refurbished

The Ministry of Defence, which owns the building behind Harborough Leisure Centre, only informed the group about the work schedule before Christmas, meaning it faces a race against time to secure another venue.

A building in Market Harborough which can accommodate around 60 cadets and leaders is needed, ideally with some outdoor space, to prevent the Squadron being forced to suspend operations while the upgrade work takes place.

Liam Wale is the training officer at the Air Cadets and spoke to HFM:
