  • West Herts Trust’s new website sows confusion over the design for the proposed Watford General rebuild
  • Its redevelopment page proudly proclaims that a video shows ‘the actual design’ of the costly new hospital, suggesting the main design work has been done and dusted
  • No such luck. There are big differences between the two images of the design of the entrance block which appear next to each other on the same website page.
  • One image (the top one below) shows a rounded building with a consistent height, smoothly linking into the 200 foot-plus towers where most patients will be
  • The other image (the bottom one below from a slightly different angle) shows a squared-off building with varying heights, awkwardly butting up against the closely-packed tower blocks. Legoland Watford.
