Former Labour Hamilton East MP Jamie Strange, who voluntarily left Parliament in 2023, has confirmed he’s now considering a tilt at the Hamilton mayoralty this year.

His comments come in the wake of incumbent mayor Paula Southgate announcing she won’t run again, while three potential “conservative” contenders on the current council are thinking about having a go.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
