Parking problems cast doubt on Hemel Hub plans
- Lack of car park space is causing the NHS and Dacorum Council concern as they push forward with the Market Square Hub scheme to replace Hemel Hospital
- In the past the Hub’s backers have been confident that the Water Gardens car park can accommodate all the 400 or so cars which currently use spaces at the Hospital
- But today the Council admitted that parking will have to be ‘looked at in more detail as part of the business case’
- The Water Gardens car park has only 600 spaces in all. There is no way that it can take 400 extra vehicles – perhaps it needs a very pricey extra floor!
- And many of the spaces at the Water Gardens are many metres away from the Market Square – causing anxiety for people with mobility problems
