THIS week I had the unfortunate need to visit Dorset County Hospital as an out-patient, at the orthopaedic department.

Can anybody tell me why the planners built a new multi storey car park at the furthest point away from the actual orthopaedic out-patient department where people find it hard to walk?

Even worse, I had to park on the fourth floor and nowhere within the car park are their any signs for pedestrians to tell them which way to the hospital.

You guessed it I walked the wrong way and it was nearly 15 minutes of uphill walking until I got to the department. Crazy.
