DESIGN decisions made during one of Hereford's biggest projects have been criticised by councillors. The newly built Station Medical Centre and student accommodation block, which flank Hereford's Victorian station building, were built using land freed up by compulsory purchase orders made as part of Hereford's transport package. But councillors at a meeting of Hereford's Cabinet on July 22 criticised the buildings as "extremely ugly" and as a barrier to one of the elements of the transport package – a transport hub aimed at linking cycling, bus travel, and rail travel in the city. The council is contractually obliged to build the hub after receiving £14million funding for that purpose from the Marches LEP.
