“Let’s get behind the consultation and show that there is heart in Hamilton.”

Following on, Christina said:

“I welcome the launch of the council’s consultation on the future of the town centre.

“We are determined to put community participation and engagement at the heart of this process and reflect the views of the people in the progress of this plan.
