Statement of support for our communities by the Leader of Rushmoor Borough Council, Councillor Gareth Williams
Updated on: 08/10/2025
Rushmoor has a proud history as a place that has welcomed people from many backgrounds to make this their home. People who came from all corners of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth to Aldershot to serve in the British Army, those who came to work in the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough, and more recently Gurkha veterans and their families, skilled engineers in our growing technology businesses, nurses, doctors, care workers – all playing their part in our community and making our borough a more inclusive, tolerant, richer place.
