An exciting new GP surgery - West Herts Medical Centre - opens in Hemel Hempstead on 1 June.

It is under a month now until new urgent care centres open at Hertford County and Cheshunt Community hospitals in October 2009. Urgent care centres are a new service for people with relatively minor injuries and ailments that might otherwise have had to travel to an A&E department, to get treated much closer to home. The new centres will provide urgent care for people who do not have a life-threatening illness or injury. The centres will include diagnostic services such as x-rays and blood tests along with treatment areas for wound stitching, sprains and plastering minor fractures.

A new GP-led health centre is set to open its doors at the QEII Hospital in Welwyn Garden City later this year after the PCT signed a contract with local GPs to provide the service.

Long gouge in newly surfaced road between Football Academy and Esso Petrol station This happened at approx. 12.30pm on Saturday 27th April 2013 This was caused by a stretch Hummer when it's wheel fell off and the vehicle continued on down the road. The hummer had a party of "pink hens" on board, the police and recovery services/vehicle were at the scene and it took over 2hrs to resolve the problem. I suggest that you cross charge for the repair. Could have been very nasty!
