Car park cock-up hits Market Square Hub plans
- There’s embarrassment for Dacorum Council and the NHS as their favoured Market Square Hub scheme runs into car park trouble
- The Hub would feature an Urgent Treatment Centre, open to at least 10 pm daily.
- David Taylor MP is rightly insisting on rehabilitation and step-down beds being provided at the new facility
- BUT – The main car parking facility would be at the Water Gardens
- Unfortunately that car park closes at 6 pm, which prevents the sort of noisy car and bike racing that used to plague the facility and disturb local residents
- So the NHS and the Council have a tough choice if they continue with their unpopular and expensive plan to move services a few hundred metres across Marlowes.
- Perhaps they will have to either:
- Allow the boy racers to start up again by opening the car park in the evening – OR
- Close the Hub at 6pm
