The new hospital car park shown in plans for the site. Picture: West Herts Hospitals NHS Trust We now know that the new £39.2million multi-storey car park at Watford General Hospital will provide 1,290 spaces for staff, patient and visitor use and that in the short term the present essential staff car park will continue to offer 404 spaces. However both West Herts Hospital Trust’s recent information sheet and their architect’s three presentations indicate that it is intended to phase out the latter facility. In the long term, therefore, only 1,290 spaces may be available for all users and yet West Herts Hospitals Trust’s parking consultant, Odyssey, has consistently asserted that it is working on an, admittedly worst-case, assumption of a future 20 per cent increase in hospital visits as the population grows and ages.
