Blow to case for moving our hospital services to Market Square
- Controversial plan for 390 Leighton Buzzard Road homes (see pic) approved and will almost certainly now go ahead
- This decision has met a lot of opposition and will affect our environment. But it does mean Dacorum Council could meet Government housing targets WITHOUT having to close the whole of the current Hemel Hospital site and replace it with flats
- It will make it easier for the NHS to use part of the existing site for the promised Hemel Community Hospital
- This weakens the case of those who are pushing to move NHS services to the Market Square
- The NHS and Dacorum Council MUST now publish ALL the options for our Community Hospital.
