We’ve run out of missiles

Not a joke

We gave them all away

MOD / GOV not a clue where or how many

Nothing to see here

Very unusual for the MOD to give up land.

"A new vehicular access from Beaconside and from Sandon Road with associated traffic management measures."

Which is your typical salesperson speak for a revised junction with traffic lights. I don't think there's a single person who drives around Stafford who says "I don't think we have enough traffic lights".

Beacon Business Park went back in the RAF days.


I just remember when the RAF left the site I wondered if they would sell it off and my work colleague said that, that they never do that. Shows how much he knew :)

Look on the upside of living near the Sandon Road you lot. Free swimming pool !! Fishing lake !!! Submarine Pens !!!! Good views of incoming tsunamis !!!!! Great White Sharks !!!!!! Massive Tectonic Plate movements !!!!!!! (OK OK, that last one might be a bit of an exaggeration. ):P:P

I see a distinct lack of provisions mentioned for schools, GPs, dental, etc…

As per usual.

That was No 3 Site.
This is No 4 Site.
Maybe No 2 Site next.
And I doubt if they're still using No 6 Site.
No longer a storage depot, that's why so much isn't needed.

I think the houses are behind the first semi (180?) On Sandon Road next to Marston Brook.

You can see them on Google maps but the file is too large to upload the image.
Dropped pin

No idea how you access the houses though.
I used to live on Sandon Road just near here, you accessed our garage from the back and we were the last house you could access. These houses were built on the blocked off land next door I think, taken them a very long time to build and pretty sure they stopped completely twice.

Great access to the balancing lakes though!
