Poll: What do you want to see at Hamilton gardens?
The Rhododendron Lawn is proving a talking point when it comes to plans for Hamilton Gardens.
Hamilton City Council would have the lawn turned into a car park, and more themed gardens built on the site of the current main car park. Events would be moved to another lawn - Governor's Green - or an amphitheatre.
People are for and against this transformation. Where do you stand?
-
12.1% Turn it into a car park - overall the new plan will be better for the gardens.
-
80.4% Save the Rhododendron Lawn - there must be another way.
-
6.5% I don't mind either way.
-
1% Other - explain in the comments.
