Thousands of Armed Forces families will benefit from new freedoms to keep pets and personalise their homes as part of the Government’s commitment to improve forces housing. The measures, announced today include greater freedoms to own pets, decorate, and personalise houses, and run businesses from home.   The latest improvements to military family housing — some already in effect from 9 August — mark a key milestone in delivering the Government’s new Consumer Charter. Defence Secretary John Healey has pledged to put forces families at the heart of defence housing reform, vowing to “stop the rot” and raise standards across service accommodation nationwide. The Charter is part of the forthcoming Defence Housing Strategy, which will set out plans for a generational renewal of forces housing, helping renew the nation’s contract with those who serve and supporting the Government’s Plan for Change.
