Another good reason not to build 700 homes on land south of Watford hospital
Yes folks, that’s why no housing was built there before. The ‘health campus’ development team say a flood relief channel beside the river Colne will be constructed as part of the proposals. That’s like building a house in the middle … Continue reading
