What will happen to the old Market Square?

by brendalink on 18 January, 2008

At the full council meeing of the Dacorum Borough Council in January I asked the portfolio holder responsible for the old market site what plans were in place for the old market site now that the market has moved into the Marlowes.

His answer demonstrated the lack of planning and forethought the Conservative run council has given to this and other strategic decisions. He said they were thinking of putting an skating rink there but found out that they can’t because there is already one at Leisure World.  He was not able to identify any other use at that time.

Considering it will be a long time before the area is re-developed for the new Waterhouse Square project, the site runs a big risk of becoming a rundown eyesore in the heart of the Town.

If you have any suggestions as to what the site could be used for please let me know.
