Poll: Do you think Hamilton's CBD could take pointers from Cambridge?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Car parks back in Garden Place, a weekend market, and better funded night shelters - that’s what a former Hamilton mayor reckons will stop the city’s feral street scenes.

Russ Rimmington is calling for Hamilton city leaders to look to Cambridge and provide the economic drivers to turn the CBD around.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
