Government organisations
Dacorum Borough Council passed a motion on the 25th of June 2019 that states
“We do not support the proposals to focus the majority of services and investment on the Watford site. We believe this will not provide an acceptable level of provision for the residents of Dacorum, which we feel would be better served by a new build – as would the needs of the wider West Herts population.
“We also believe there should be a full range of diagnostic services in the three main towns of West Hertfordshire.”
